thanks for posting this. Keyes Beech was my father. Your reporting has filled in a few holes in his history I was unaware of. Do you mind sharing how you uncovered this information? Thanks

Hi, Really interested in your post and the work you've done. I've recently completed a biography of Keyes Beech, to be published by Texas Tech University Press. I'm familiar with the photo you have used of Beech on Iwo but have so far not tracked down the source. Do you know what that is? Thank you.

Hi Jonathan ... wrote this one a long time ago but I believe that came from Findagrave (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6768668/keyes-beech/photo). Not sure on the original source.
