I forgot to mention that my Father John W. Jankowski (page 41) was 103 years old when he passed. He was a Great Father and I and the Family misses him more than he will ever know.

My Father John W. Jankowski is in this class book as an Instructor. His photo with four of his Cadets is on page 41. After serving at Hicks Field he went on to fly for American Airlines. His last aircraft flown was the DC-10. He just entered Heaven on Oct 20, 2021. At that time he was the oldest living American Airlines Captain. The Museum at March Reserve AF Base in Riverside, CA has a display of him with his Instructor Uniform and his American Airlines uniform.
