5thwingmarty Posted October 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2016 I just saw a story that Bob Hoover had passed away this morning at age 94. I remember seeing him fly his Mustang at Oshkosh when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgee Posted October 25, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 25, 2016 R.I.P. Fly Guy! I had the honor of meeting him at a Reno Air Show and watching him fly his Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indexred Posted October 25, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 25, 2016 Has anyone read his autobiography? His escape from German captivity at Stalag Luft 1 was pretty amazing. He stole an Fw 190 and flew it to Allied territory in Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indexred Posted October 25, 2016 Share #7 Posted October 25, 2016 Here's a picture of him with his book. And there was also a video which I've never seen. His escape from Stalag Luft 1 was truly the Great Escape ... but only a small part of an amazing career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach Posted October 26, 2016 Share #8 Posted October 26, 2016 Does the book above mention his time as a POW and his escape? Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
