I've been seeking information about the owner of this flying class book. I'm Robert F. Dorr (Bob), author of "Hell Hawks," a history of a P-47 Thunderbolt fighter group, and am now writing "Mission to Berlin," about B-17 Flying Fortress crews. Harris Rogner was one of the great bomber commanders in B-17s in World War II and in B-29 Superfortresses in the Korean Warm before losing his life in a stateside B-29 crash. But what was he doing between graduating from West Point in 1938 and attending class 43-D? Anyone interested in helping with my research, contact me, please.
