This 43B Advanced Flying School graduation book was owned by my father, Lt. Col. John M. Carah. After graduation in February, 1943, he as assigned as a pilot to the 381st Bomb Group. He was shot down over France on 4 Jul 1943 and evaded to Switzerland where he became a member of the Military Attache's staff. He left Switzerland and returned to the U.S. after crossing occupied France and reaching Barcelona, Spain in February, 1944. After his return to the U.S., he became a pilot for the ATC Ferry Service and later made the U.S. Air Force his career. He retired in 1966.

The letters are personal. It appears Golden Hill?s wife was staying in Memphis at 1205 Wilson St., Memphis, Tenn.
One of the letters is on United States Army stationery. The other is on Army Air Forces Advanced Flying School Douglas, Arizona, stationery.
