Description

My dad was a pilot in the Army Air Corps during World War 2. He joined in 1938 when he was 17 years old and first became an airplane mechanic. As a Staff Sergeant he turned 20 years old on December 7, 1941. By the end of January 1942, he became one of the first flying sergeants in the Air Corps and soloed in February. By the end of that year he was stationed in the South Pacific flying C-47's. He flew passengers, freight, paratroopers and COMBAT MISSIONS according to his log book. After the war dad remained in the Air Force until he retired in 1961 as a major. He was a good man and loved his family and left them a great legacy. A really special day for me was when I got to pick up my dad at the airport in a plane I flew in to pick him up with. When we were up at cruising altitude, I looked at him and said, "The controls are yours, dad."
