Niles' Lounge

Lou Niles (Saber White) was not aware of this "memorial" until recent research into B/1/9 history because his name was affixed after his departure.  This structure had been built by Lou for washing scout aircraft.  Lou was test pilot, aviation officer his first six months, then scout platoon leader the remainder of his tour. He was given the platoon by George O´Grady.
