I have 1920 and 1930 census records in Rusk Co. Wisconsin

So, it seems this is the chap Milo has found but I suppose I have to be the one to point out the glaring error... Archie Harold Raasch died the year before El Grifo met him, 1987.

You know what we need? Someone with access to the RAF and RCAF, (but more likely I think RAF), enlistment records for WWII... A tiptoe through those for the name of Raasch would be most enlightening... Anyone?
