My dad flew C-46's over the Hump in the China-Burma-India Campaign, was involved in a crash and treated for burns at an Army hospital in Texas. He never received Veterans' status or benefits because he was a civilian pilot for the AAF. There were many "silent birdmen" in the war (too old, couldn't pass physical, etc) who wore the uniform but without rank insignia.

Your father was a very brave man. Only the BEST could do what he did. I know you are very proud of him. Have you made a website about him?
