being civilian pilots working in the Army Air Forces. Most of them were draft dodgers. Anyway I had 31 months of wonderful flying for the AAF.
During our last six or seven months I flew the P-63, P-40, P-51, B-25, C-47, P-47, PBYs. Of course had a few AT6s and AT-19s thrown in and a number of trips in the C-64. Had a few co-pilot trips in the B-24.
After we were disbanded I went to Chicago for the holiday. My two sisters and Mother are now in Chicago so we had a grand time together during the holidays.
On January 2nd went to Jackson to stay with Dad for awhile. I was kinda restless. Just could not adjust myself to civilian life. It was too slow after the pace we kept in the ATC.
After visiting with Dad several weeks decided to go to New York and Lancaster, pa. for a while.
Had several flying jobs (over 2)
