2-11-1944,time 11.45,crashed;Putten,Holland,P-51D,44-13630,355 FG/354 FS,1/Lt.Albert.A.Zimmerman
Bill Marshall send me a lot of info,including a photo of the P-51D,Pittsburg Smoker.
Zimmerman was escaped and helped by the Resistance.He was on Operation Pegasus II
to cross the river Rhine on the 18th of November 1944.
From this on we have no more information.
Till 1986 he was a member of the 355 FG.Assn.He was a retired L/Col of the USAF.
Iam looking for relatives about Zimmerman,eny help is welcom
Is there in the USA an adress where I can ask information about retired USAF
All other missions are named Pegasus, only WW2 had a Pegasus 2
and no, 1 isn't the correct answer
no man... they were named Pegasus II believe me... but that was one of the rescued? just to confirm were about the same thing here
Aye afaik one of the rescued was an American pilot, but he wasn't on his own to cross the Rhine
well i doubt anyone will find it... but ill make a last guess....6 persons...
I'll take that person you had before and say you have the correct answer.
It was 7 persons, while in Pegasus I about 200 were saved
Can we get a new question? :book:
ey yes sorry for my absence... ill get a new question today... let me think about a good one
you know Stig... before I choose 6 i thought about 7 because its a lucky number but i went for 6 anyway :P
King Gustav Adolf (sp?) won a battle but the price he had to pay for his victory was his life... Which battle am i talking about
Lützen, November 16, 1632. Easy when you're Swedish:clown:
Btw: Gustavus II Adolphus is his name in English.
Sounds more like Latin though ;)
Innocentus... you arent allowed to play :P... anyway... its right... but you knew that... make a question ;)
Jeopardy style:
This man was the younger brother of "the Last", although he was also the last himself. They both fought the Scotorum Malleus.
Extra points for describing in which way they both were the last:juggle2:
Dafydd ap Gruffydd?
Younger brother of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd "the Last", so called because he was the last independent Prince of Wales. However after his death in battle Dafydd claimed to succeed him and kept on the fight for a few months before he two was killed. I think...

Correct. Your turn.
...make a question already!!!

7 people?
No one was rescued, as far as the criteria of the mission goes. Do you mean the aftermath, as in after the people they wished to rescue were either shot or captured?
just to clarify.
For pegasus 1 I thought about 200 people but I did that by hard, I don't know exactly.
But you're right it were 138 men or 128 as Canadian sources say.
for pegasus 2, simply read a book about it, I don't have it here, but there's a little pocket book, about 50 pages maybe, about both Operation Pegasus 1 and 2, and about Major Tatham-Warter too (it was written by Lt. Leo Haeps, if I'm correct, as he helped organising both). It mentions 7 rescued, as that is true. If you don't believe it, don't. You say in the aftermath of the mission, but that's part of the mission, if you say "Oh that doesn't count" well do so, but I say it does count. it's also mentioned in a book Co-written by Brigadier Hacket, which is about Pegasus 1, 2 and Hackets own escape through the Biesbosch.
edit here is another book I have:

scroll down to Escape across the Rhine
Apologies for taking so long, I was away overnight Thursday and only recently returned. Here's a hopefully thought-provoking "who am I?" riddle:
"I am an old figure, in more ways then one. The East was in chaos when I was born, and the Mediterranean not much better. My father was a great warrior (though no king) and I did not lack for martial valour, though I am better remembered as an artist, and a teller of tales. I could also be considered something of a voyager; I was far-travelled myself, but with imagination I could cross over oceans. My long life encompassed both blissful youth and sorrowful age, and I lived long enough to witness great changes within my country. Posthumously, I briefly enjoyed the status of a literary Titan, and my name was known to the greatest man in the world. Some even claimed that I rivalled Homer, though I myself would be perplexed by that claim. There are those who say that I lacked vision, and others who question my very existence, yet my face can be seen in palaces, and posterity has vindicated me against pretenders."
Antagonist
Hesiod or Syagrus.
Herodotos?
Nope...
Actually it may be that I've overcompensated for the easiness of my previous question this time, but the figure in question isn't that obscure, although I may be bending the rules a bit. A little prod if it helps, the figure I'm looking for is not a Hellene of any description...
Antagonist
Ahhhhhhhh can we have any other hints?
Luo Guangzhon? (romance of the three kingdoms?)
I'm looking too far, most likely :(
Okay, it does seem I may have inadvertently set a new precedent for obscurity here, as the description (whilst containing several cryptic allusions to the identity) is still pretty damn vague. Proper hints:
1) Nowadays this individual would be considered more mythological than historical, but this was not always so even relatively recently.
2) This individual's literary fame did not occur until long after their time.
3) Said fame was also closely linked to controversy about the individual's identity and historicity.
Antagonist
This is probably a crappy guess but Shakespeare
Aeneus?
The Sleeping Dragon? Dong Zhuong? Lu Bu? Confucius :P
I gues he was born around 300 A.D, 470 A.D. or between 80 B.C. and 20 B.C. since that were the only times the Med was in total chaos. Was living during the Three Kingdoms...
Alright this is just something that popped up in me but ill take a gues for Jesus, otherwise Moses or some Egyptian Writer...?
Definitly not Jesus :P...
Maybe Muhammed, Zou Ci or Ma Chao
