He had a great life and was a mainstay with the USAF throughout his life. Rest in Peace.
.....I might have missed it somewhere but it is interesting that the picture of him shows him wearing British Royal Air Force pilot’s wings on the right side of his blouse and United States Civil Air Patrol wings below his USAF Command Pilot Wings....what an interesting life he must have led.....!! wonder how many hours and in what types of aircraft he had in his logbook....
