around the time of his first solo in 1943. I have been working on
touching up the photo (see original below). |

Last October, my father passed away at the ripe old age of 88. Dad flew 35 combat missions in Europe with the 15th AF, 455th Bomb Group, 743rd (The Vulgar Vultures). After his return to the U.S. he was hired by United Airlines and flew for them for 38+ years.
Dad, on this Memorial Day Weekend, WE SALUTE YOU!
