My friend who passed away two days ago was a Marine Aviator
who flew with some of our guys while in the Marines. Two that you might know
are Lefty Engelking, and TK Roe. ................. retired NWA pilot, but one I
call kinda like the Forrest Gump of aviation, in that his life touched people
like the Great Santini, TK Roe, Ensign Gay, The Memphis Belle, MOH recipient
Michael Novosel. Bill was probably one of the nicest NWA pilots you never flew
with.
