You were born in Monroe, Alabama on the 6th of January 1919. You graduated from high school in Birmingham, Alabama in 1936. In civilian life, between the years 1936 and 1939, You were employed as Mechanic at the Birmingham Airport. From February of 1938 to June of 1939, you served as an enlisted airplane mechanic in the 68th Observation Squadron, Alabama National Guard. In June, 1939 you enlisted as a flying cadet, and were commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the CIC-ORC (Air Corps-Officer's Reserve Corp) upon completion of your training on 23 March 1940. You were ordered to active duty on the following day. From 24 March 1940 until 25 September 1940, you were a pilot in the 99th Pursuit Squadron at Mitchell Field, New York. On 26 September 1940 you transferred to multi-engine aircraft and were assigned to the 22nd Bomb Group (H), at Langley Field, Virginia. On 12 February 1940 you were transferred again to the 19th Bomb Group (H), 42nd Bomb Squadron at March Field, Moreno Valley, California. The Rumor is that soon the unit will be sent some where in the Pacific.

The city lights and sunrise seemed to reflect off the metal roofs of Moresby as we flew over making them appear like flakes of mica in the sun.
