Long-term, essentially unsourced BLP. Can't find reliable secondary sources that provide coverage of this tail gunner and self-published author. His book doesn't appear to have garnered reviews save for one from himself (or someone with the same name) at Amazon. Of course, additional secondary sources which provide coverage of this author and/or his book welcome, as always. joe deckertalk to me 20:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fascinating article, but he lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources, as required by WP:GNG. Pburka (talk) 03:27, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Very honorable service, and one of the many World War II veterans that were are loosing every day; that being said, subject of article fails WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, and WP:SOLDIER. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 11:54, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of this unsourced BLP. J04n(talk page) 17:01, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: if you know me, you know I disgree with the awards clause of WP:MILPEOPLE; and I thin that a DFC is enough. However, for a BLP, even I can't say that a single YouTube ref is enough to pass the GNG.  bahamut0013  words deeds 17:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
