Some clues: Born in UK in 1907, inventor, engineer.

Looks like another long wait. I'm going to play for a while again.

   Screenwriter
2. Merian Caldwell Cooper was an American aviator, United States Air Force and Polish Air Force officer, adventurer, screenwriter, film director and producer. His most famous film was the 1933 movie King Kong

Gday...

Perhaps it is the all too common  problem with "information" on the wonderful internet.

The Wiki does show Merrian C Cooper ....

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merian_C._Cooper

But the listing that comes up for John Joseph 'Black Jack' Pershing is from a someone's "blog".

I guess it is a decision on the validity and veracity of the author   

I reckon BG is right (coz I would rely on Wiki first ) ... but given the confusion of "internet Info" I reckon Juergen should have another go

Cheers - John

That one is definitely Merrian C. Cooper.  The following is a Pic. of John Joseph Pershing as a Cadet.
