\"AAF<\/a>
AAF Form 5 Folder, where all of his flying time was logged.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the right side of the folder was a series of monthly reports of his flying time, indicating the date, number of hours, type of aircraft, his role as a pilot or co-pilot, and whether the hours were during the day or at night. I also included his cumulative flight hours.<\/p>\n

At the time he was shot down, Tom had accumulated 219 hours of flight time as a first pilot, and 554 hours of total flight time.<\/p>\n

On the left side of the folder were a variety of documents, including flying orders, transfer orders, several certifications as a qualified pilot and signed acknowledgements of his review of certain documents or receipt of training.<\/p>\n

\"Memorandum<\/a>
Memorandum to Cadets, Aircrew Students and Student Officers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Folded and left loose in the folder was an exhortation from the Base Commander of the Santa Ana Army Air Base.<\/p>\n
