Talk:John C. Herbst

1946 or 1947?
Some sources say Herbst died on July 4, 1946 and some say 1947. The periodical The Billboard says 1946, and it is bound annually into book form. It is highly unlikely that The Billboard would get the year wrong!

However, Walter J. Boyne identifies the year as 1947 in this book about Robin Olds. There's also the book Fast Movers by John D. Sherwood which places the air crash in 1947. 24.10.123.148 (talk) 01:40, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the confirmation. Your grandfather was a great pilot, flew wholeheartedly, holding nothing back. Binksternet (talk) 14:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
