Found Lt Alfred P. Filippone in this class book. He is listed as Lt A. P. Filippone, Bombardier Instructor. He was later Group Bombardier of the 487th Bomb Group (H) at Army Air Forces Station 137, Lavenham, Suffolk, England.

My Wife's Grandfather Joseph L. Winkler was a graduate of this Class and I am compiling a database (for a future book project) of the class. If there is anyone who has more information on classmates that aren't listed in the book... The Curator has my e-mail and you can e-mail me directly or leave a message here. Thank you.

Mike, this class book is missing quite a few pages in the class book cadet photos section....It skips from C" To graduates last names starting with "M".. I am seeking a class photo of J.C. Ellender Jr... Are those pages available? Thanks!.. Bobby Silliman

Thanks Bobby, I noticed the missing pages. I will contact the contributor in case they still have the book. Sometimes when reproducing the pages one by one, it's easy to skip some.

Bobby, this book is complete as it is, although it's possible those cadets were unintentionally left out when it was originally published. Marty found John C. Ellender in class 42-16 (http://aafcollection.info/items/list.php?item=000584).
