My grandfather, Adrian Edward Mann, was an RAF Flight Instructor for a period of time at Foster Field during 1943 and is in this picture, seated, 2nd from the right with a mustache and (what would be) a navy coloured side cap. He wore US fatigues except for either an RAF Officers peaked cap or side cap and RAF tie whist he was on the base.
