Back to April 2012 at Hyakuri Air Force Base in Japan, during a time of increased tension with North Korea due to their missile testing. Consequently, when the usual military runway was already in use, some recoveries were made on the other runway usually reserved for traffic on the civil airport side of the airfield. So, 'right place, right time' as JASDF F-4EJ Phantom 37-8320 from the based 302 Hikotai recovers from a sortie and deploys its brake chute.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Dana J. Cable)

Some of the unit's flyers underwent combat checkout missions with the veteran pilots of the 12th Tactical Fighter Wing at Cam Rahn Bay, logging the squadron's first combat sorties on 16 March 1966. A move to Da Nang Air Base took place before the year was out, with the entire wing assigned to Da Nang on 10 October 1966.

Curtis Christopher Robinson, 89 year old veteran pilot of the "Tuskegee Airmen", the barrier-breaking all-black fighter squadron in World War II. He graduated from college in 1941, joined the unit in 1943, and after the war completed a pharmacy program at Howard University. He later owned a chain of pharmacies in Washington, DC. He was signing copies of his book "A Pilot's Journey" and talking with visitors at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center. It was a great honor to meet him!

Godwin was a relative of mine. He was Ethelbert Godwin Stockwell Wagner, known as Godwin. the son of Anne Francis Marples and Christian Wagner.
He was born in 1893 and went to Lord Williams's School, Thame, Oxfordshire and was an 'Old Tamensian'.
Two of his cousins were also killed in the great war in 1917. Private William Henry Noel Marples killed March 1917 aged 19 and Able Seaman Geoffrey Marples Edwardes killed September 1917 aged 20. It would have been a pretty rotten year for the family. Luckily other brothers and cousins safely made it home after the war.
Godwin was in the 32nd squadron of the RFC. he was probably shot down by Oberleutenant Erwin Bohme of jast 2 aka jasta boelke. I have always assumed that Godwin was killed as a result of being shot down, so it is of great interest to me to read that you have him as being killed as a pow.
Another online source records the following: William G. S. Curphey gained a kill identified as a two-seat LVG on August 22, 1916, flying this airplane. Curphey shot down six enemy aircraft before his death on May 15th, 1917, all flying the DH-2 with No. 32 Sqdn. The service career of this aircraft ended on January 7th, 1917 at 1230h, when it was shot down by Lt. d.R. Erwin Boehme of Jasta 2. Sitting in the cockpit of the DH-2 was E.G.S. Wagner, who did not survive. Wagner, a member of No. 32 Sqdn RFC, thus became Boehme‘s ninth victim. Boehme reached
a total of 24 kills by the end of the war.
Another source: 2Lt E G S Wagner of No 32 Sqn (formerly Royal Warwickshire Regiment) was flying DH2 7851 when he became Ltn Bohme's 9th victory on 7 January 1917. There's a very short account of the action, plus a photograph and short biography of 2Lt Wagner in Under the Guns of the Kaiser's Aces by Norman Franks and Hal Giblin.
It is worth noting that after Lord Williams's, Wagner studied at the University of Birmingham where he played cricket for the 1st XI. Hence, the reason for signing up with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
