Yours, too! Wow! What is/was Walt's full name?

My father, Richard Frost, was also a test pilot with Bell in WWII flying P-39's and P-63's. He had a miraculous survival from a high-speed, high-altitude bailout flying an experimental P-63 in 1944, and went on to work on the Bell XS-1 supersonic program.
