Theresa,
When I saw your site with the word “Blue Train”,I couldn’t believe it. I am trying to figure out my fathers military career. Like your dad, mine was not a talker. Part American indian, he was always quite. He died when I was just 21.He lied about his age and joined the Army in 1937 in Tx.Switched to the Air Corps in 41 @ Kelly Field in Tx.& went from QM corps to photography.In 43 his speciality is Aerial Phorography.In 43 he is still @ WRF-Okla with the 89th Recon Training Wing.Leaves the US for England Feb 44.Mother always talked about how dad was part of the Blue Train in Europe. I can’t find anything on it. Your’s is the 1st.
