Eagles, The Class book for pilot class 44-E at the Eagle Pass Army Air Field. [3] Mitch Topal (09-Jan-2016 11:15 AM)I am writing a book about Ray Firmani called "Against All Odds, The Ray Firmani Story." Ray went on to become a lead B-17 pilot in the 486th Bomb Group (8th Air Force). He flew 25 successful missions and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. [2] raymond firmani (08-Jan-2016 01:39 PM)I was in class 44-E at Eagle pass Texas. Squadron V. I have this album Well put together and I still remember many of my class mates. I survived the war. Long time ago. Ray [1] Paul Stouffer (24-Dec-2009 12:49 PM)What a wonderful momento. My Uncle William J. McGowan received his wings and 2nd Lt. commission in December, 1943 at Eagle Pass. I would love to see the correlating "Eagles" book for his graduating class. Would you know what the letter-year would be? Lt. McGowan was killed when his P47 went down about 6-months later on D-Day, June 6, 1944 and I am trying to piece together his short life for my mother. |

Ellington Field Class book for advanced pilot class 43-E at Ellington Field, Houston, Texas. [2] Melissa (14-Nov-2013 01:05 PM)I have two copies of this my father is on the page opposite your uncle - His name was Frederick Harold Leigh. I am searching for any records or campaigns he was involved in an don't know where to start, I have a bunch of his "buddies" who signed his copy (sadly many lost far too soon). He would never, ever discuss the war and I found an old reel-to reel player and some reel tapes I have yet to re-locate that seem to be related to treatment he had after the war and having suffered what they called "shell shock". It was a war that broke a part f him, despite finishing RISD and becoming an extremely successful designer. I was gifted to have had him until 2001- but I , at the mere age of 34 had lost my dad- to me far to soon.... He was the one true love of my life- the embodiment of unconditional love- he showed it I believe because of what he witnessed in the war and knew just how short and precious life was - Melissa [1] Thomas M Lee (22-Oct-2011 10:50 AM)My uncle, Harold J. Lee, (deceased) from Toronto Canada was a graduate of this class. He went on to fly B-26s in Europe, although I'm not sure of his unit yet( Oct 11). I've been doing genealogical work on my family and was fortunate to come across this book. I have an invitation to the graduation that he sent to my father (his brother). The plane on the embosssed blue leather cover looks to be a B-26. It appears that the owner of this book went to B-26 transition. I wonder if there are any surviving members of this class? |

My best congratulations to the initiative of making available these historical records. They have been very useful in the biography I am writing about the Brazilian pilot Roberto Brandini, fighting against the Tedeschi in Italy during the WWII, October1944 to May1945. Other Brazilian pilots belonging to the Class 44-E I met before they passed away had good memories and were proud to serve in US Air Force. One of the most striking thing was how good they were treated by the local people!
