NWA Capt. Warren D. Branscomb
April 11, 1931 ~ March 22, 2013
Notification of the passing of NWA retired pilot Captain
Warren Dean Branscomb. Obituary notes NWA but I think perhaps Captain
Branscomb’s career started with North Central. Captain Branscomb was
nearing his 82nd birthday at the time of his passing March 22,
2013.
