WWII veteran, SO (NWA) Capt. Howard Joseph Landis
June 1, 1921 - September 26, 2014
Notification with the passing of WWII veteran retired pilot
Captain Howard J. Landis, age 93. Captain Landis’ obituary notes he retired
with Northwest but from what I could find I believe his commercial career would
have been with Southern Airways and that he may have retired prior to the
various airline mergers. Captain Landis is survived by his wife Delores.
