Hello everyone... This is the first of many tributes to minority pilots that flew for the allies. Flight Sergeant James Joseph Hyde flew with 132 Squadron flying Spitfires. First with Mk.V’s and eventually Mk.IX’s shown here with his squadron’s mascot “Dingo”. Here is the clip about his service from the Caribbean aircrew website. https://www.caribbeanaircrew-ww2.com/ Sadly J.J.Hyde lost his life on September the 25th 1944, seventy six years ago tomorrow. He was flying air support over the Arnhem area around Nijmegen for the trapped British Para’s. His flight was intercepted by Fw.190’s & BF-109G’s of Jg.26. In the ensuing dogfight Jg.26 claimed four spitfires one of which was Hyde’s. So I show him honor and respect by building this Spitfire. It is an 1/72 Eduard Mk.IXe in the markings of his personal aircraft PL316 coded FF*S. Again one simple word Respect ! Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or thoughts. Dennis
