Mike,
Thank you so much for adding the class book for advanced pilot class 41-G at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas to the collection. My twin bother Tom's and my late father, Col. Robert D. Kalb, USAF Ret., was in that class. Our father and mother, who our Dad met while at Kelly, would attend Class 41G reunions well into the 1970s. I recognized some of the other names in the class book as men that were life long friends of our father. They truly were the greatest generation.

I recently donated my father's (Capt Richard A Field, USAF Ret.) copy of this item to the library of the Wings Over the Rockies museum in Denver, Colorado. It included a contemporary, separate, glossy photograph of class members arranged by unit and an engraved graduation invitation. It also contained a group reunion photo from the 1980s.
