Back to dad's experience in the Air Corps: His first flight

Back to dad’s experience in the Air Corps: His first flight was in a J3 Cub on 19 December, 1943, in Jamestown, ND.

He was in a large group of southern boys sent to training in North Dakota in the dead of winter. The story goes that his drill instructor hated southerners and ran these boys in the subfreezing air. Many of them, including my dad, developed severe adenoid and sinus problems.
