2nd Lt Timothy J. Crowley, 418th BS, 35 missions - 04/01/44 to 07/25/44. When returned to US he was Lt. Col. and reached the rank of Captain in the reserves, while attending law school in San Francisco, stationed at Hamilton AFB, Novato, CA. He was a member of the World War II Pilots in Santa Rosa who got together for "hanger talk." I was proud to be their secretary and enjoyed the hanger talk at the luncheons. Dad died 02/27/02 and is very missed but proud of his service in the Army Air Corps and the history. Thank you all for your service to our country! God Bless you All!
