jack cook Posted July 8, 2015 Share #54 Posted July 8, 2015 The certificate posted by 'Jumpin Jack' off Paul Bucher's NA certificate was interesting. My dear friend Bill 'Beads' Popp of VF-17/VF-84 was his division leader. Bill was the other half off the mid-air having been hit by Butcher who had lost sight of him. A few years before Bill passed he received a phone call out of the blue from a member of Butcher's family swearing at Bill and then hanging up. :-( I have Bill's certificate and a few other odds and ends inc his uniform, photos and a piece of the Corsair he up-ended at Torokina after getting his by Zeros over Rabaul.

Hi Jack I have some mail Bill Popp sent while with VF-17 in 1943 that I bought at a Stamp Show in Oregon years ago. Unfortunately there are no letters, just the envelopes. Kurt !!!! WANTED !!!!
