I thought it was from "colinhotham", but that didn't add up, either.
Anyway, I have a few photos of Liason Pilots but I couldn't remember which book it was in. I checked my 45th Division reference books and didn't see any. Kowalik's book has a lot of details about his flights over Italy and other details about Army life in general. His primary role was artillery forward observer but on many occasions, he would spot an enemy ambush and drop messages to the unsuspecting GI's who were about to be attacked. During the rapid advance thru the Po Valley, he lead the way and flew over the route to look for enemy tanks and troops.
These pilots were considered Army pilots and not Air Force pilots. They probably were snubbed by the Air Force jockeys.
