[Eric in the Ozarks]

My dad, born in 1906, was a bit too old to step forward in 1942.
He had flying experience and was recruited into the Hump Pilots in ‘43.
He flew as a civilian pilot and he was not the only civilian in the CBI.

He wore an officer’s uniform with the CBI patch but without rank insignia.
He was referred to as “captain.”

That’s neat. He might have taken my Dad over the Hump.

Thanks for sharing.
