After training as a navigator-bombardier he deployed to the UK. Post Battle of Britain, he deployed to Egypt flying Wellington bombers in Montgomery's campaign against Rommel's Afrika Corp. Following Rommel's defeat he deployed to India serving under General Orde Wingate. In March 1944 he joined the USAAF 27th Troop Carrier Squadron. At the completion of his missions flying the "hump" in unarmed C-47s he was awarded the US Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1945 he bought the historic David Williams farm (one of Major Andres captors preventing Benedict Arnolds betrayal of West Point) where he lives with his growing family of four generations.ver menos
