My grandfather, Col. Raymond F. Nicholson was in the first class of cadets of the Army Air Corp in 1929. He later served in the War Department/Pentagon and possibly in the occupation of Europe. He was a pilot training instructor. I am not well versed on his service, but he did die in a plane crash (on duty) in 1950 outside of Alexandra, VA. I have articles that he wrote for the Chicago Herald while he was a cadet. I also have his flight training card and photos. Please let me know if you are interested in this material. Thank you.
I would love the info. I am writing a novel based on my parents story. My dad was also a pilot instructor who deployed to England for the Germany bombing raids near the end of the war. The focus of the book is on the 14,000+ men who were killed during pilot training in the U.S

I am not technically advanced. Please recommend a way that I can make the material available to you.
I am not either. If you don't mind sharing with others as well, you could post it here. See insert arrow below. Thanks
Due to situational difficulties, I will not be able to sort thru the material until after the first of the year. I will let you know as soon as I get it together.
I eventually intend to donate the material to the Army Air Corp. museum.
Thank you for your patience.
