Mom joined him in California and worked in an aircraft plant

Mom joined him in California and worked in an aircraft plant - Edith the Riveter? I have no evidence of his flying during the first part of 1944. He next flew on the 9th of August at Cal Aero in a PT-13 220 hp Stearman. That’s a long layoff. He soloed the Stearman on the 22nd! Pretty amazing - to solo a Stearman in under two weeks.

He continued to fly at Cal Aero through November 18th.
