[4] Brittanie (22-Nov-2021 11:19 AM)Hello, I have a book just like this - the outside reads ??? ASFBS Childres Texas - the inside reads ??? #800A [3] Mike Voisin (27-Sep-2011 06:57 PM)@Georgeann, generally most class books do not have an index. However, the cadets are usually listed in alphabetical order because that's how they were assigned to each squadron. If your dad graduated from a school near Biloxi, you'll have to search class books from that school. [2] Georgeann Johnston (27-Sep-2011 06:45 PM)Does it have a name index? I am searching for my dad's info from the AAC. He graduated from airplane mechanics school Nov 1943, Keesler, Biloxi MS.

Luke Field Class book for advanced pilot class 43-H at Luke Field, Phoenix, Arizona. [1] Bobby Silliman (22-Oct-2021 01:39 PM)I know one of the airmen mentioned and shown in this class book. His name is Lt Evertt D. Atkinson and he turned 99 on June 3rd 2021. He shared a story with me regarding a cadet student named Malcolm F. Hayles. Evertt was flying as an instructor in an AT-6 two seat trainer. On December 11, 1943, and about 7 miles west of Luke Field, the engine died and would not re-start..Nothing was below them except giant cactus and huge boulders. Evertt took the controls and aimed his now gliding AT-6 at a small cotton patch that looked smooth enough to make a wheels up landing on. He did it with minimal damage to the aircraft! He saved a souvenir of the occasion, a small handful of cotton and cotton stems that were stuck in the engine cowling. He still has these after almost 75 years! |
