    I though I should pot this for you guys, As this page is written on top in 1945 he was in 2nd Air Commando, 156th Liaison Commando as a Liason Pilot. Stationed in Kalaiknnda, India
    Discharge as a Staff Sergeant in October 1945
    As i was looking in these records i found pages where we lived around the world.
    Also a Generals letter to him about the work he did in Puerto Rico Signed by the General who was with my Dad from 1950-1963. So maybe my Dad was his pilot

      The place names don't ring a bell, but sure sounds like in the area of the Flying Tigers. Fascinating & thanks for sharing.

      Just Bing'd Allanmyo & it is Burma. Maybe he was flying the "Hump"?
    3. filmnet filmnet, 10 years ago

      OK, but not so easy. I didn't know what "L-type" aircraft were. Ends out that they are "Liaison" aircraft & their role was courier, artillery etc. spotter, photographic and were light single engine planes. If I had thought of the L-19 Bird dog, I would have saved myself a lot of time. They were unarmed & short range so not jumping the "Hump" or directly associated with the Flying Tigers but necessary in every theater during wars in those times. This is often very low level & risky flying.

      No , That's why these guys got the medals, l-5 planes were the first to go over the mountains, No maps, No Oxygen, Nasty Wind, Nasty Snow . I have a money from the men they sign each others money before flying. look at my other writing here. look at the prints really great.

      That's high flying for single eng. planes & doubt they were turbocharged either. Rather risky without oxygen over 10-12,000 ft.
