Enlisting with the Army Air Corp 10 December 1941 he earned his wings flying Waco CG 4 gliders- first on D-Day landing in St. Mare Eglise 4 hours before H-Hour (82nd Airborne) and later to Holland (“Market Garden”, 101st Airborne), then Bastogne. Promoted to 1st Lt., he attained another goal when he flew B-25’s. After the war he signed on as a Reserve and when the USAF came into its own he went to the fledgling Radar community, serving in Germany, Spain, throughout the US and a 2 year stint in Thule, Greenland.
