    These passports are for Lieutenant Colonel J.D. Collinsworth, U.S. Air Force, assigned t
    o the Military Assistance Program Mission to Taiwan, and his wife who traveled
    with him. Lt. Col. Collinsworth was a fighter ace who served in WWII. The following
    information is found on the interweb;
    "
    RAF fighter ace with 6 victories. Born in Dublin, Texas, he is one of the few Americans
    to become an ace flying the Supermarine Spitfire. March 1942 saw him in England
    flying in the 31st F.G., 307th Squadron. This was the first Yank fighter unit in the
    country since WWI. On August 19, 1942, he received his baptism of fire above the
    ill-fated commando raid on the coast of France. Later, Collinsworth helped spearhead
    Operation Torch landings in Oran, Algeria, still flying Spitfires. He covered the landings
    at southern Sicily, flying from Maltas sister island Gozo. In 125 combat sorties, he shot
    down 6 Axis aircraft, 1 probable and 1 damaged. He finished his military career as a
    Colonel. His Spitfire is seen low left in Defiance at Dieppe. Awards include D.F.C. with
    1 O.L.C., Air Medal with 17 O.L.C.s, the Purple Heart and Army Commendation Medal."
    What a Great opportunity to have a significant piece of American history!
