Field News clipping 1/13/45


 During WW II, Will Rogers Field was a major training facility for the US Army Air Force.
 Many fighter and bomber units were activated and received their initial training there.
 I outlined the part about my Grandfather. Note all outlines were done on the computer.

    Family history

    Over the next few months I will attempt to upload newspaper clippings and photographs about my Grandfather and his family.
    This would be my Mothers side of the family. Georgella Sgambellone / Petersen. Below are some photos of my Grandfather apparently getting ready to take off in a plane he rebuilt. I do not recognize the location, he mainly use the Glendale Airport, it was within walking distance of my Grand Parents home.
