I was good friend of John Billings, who flew Polesti. He flew from1938 till 2022, they say a near reacord of flying time. Also flew OSS missions, including the famous Operation Greenup with OSS agent Fred Meyer. The script writer for the movie "The Inglorious Bastards" got some ideas from that mission. See the documentary "The Real Inglorious Bastards"
