Macgor's NZ Speedway - NZ Open Wheel Speedway History ??

Scroll down to the entry that lists every US driver that raced in NZ... Swede's there w/ the guys that went over in the 37-38 & 38-39 seasons:

1937 - 1938 : Duane Carter, Paul Swedburg, Beale, Simmons, Swede Lindskog,
Vinc Podurgiel
1938 - 1939 : Swede Lindskog, Roy Richter, Roscoe Turner

What I wonder is this... is Roscoe Turner **THE** Roscoe Turner? I didn't get the impression he is, but if anyone knows one way or the other, let me know...

386th Air Service Group (386th asg) at Iwo Jima

There's a picture of Swede here.

A couple years ago there was an article that mentioned him and the race car he and his buddies built while on Iwo. I can't remember, but i think it was published in Motortrend, Road & Track, or Car & Driver. If anyone remembers that article, let me know...

It was kinda spooky when I was browsing the Automotive section of the Barnes & Nobel a few years back, saw this Offenhauser book, and remembering the stories of how he always wanted to be able to race an Offy, started thumbing through... there he was, p. 86.
