Ace fighter pilot, Alden Rigby, graduated from Cadets at Spence Field, Georgia, in December, 1943. He graduated from P-51 fighter training at Bartow, Florida in April, 1944, then served as an instructor for two months before he was assigned to the 352nd Fighter Group, based at Bodney, England. He traveled across the Atlantic on the transport ship USS Mt. Vernon with no escorts.
