In the 1943-45 log book of Don McBride, Ralph listed his address as: William A. Dudding 1614 4th Ave. So. Minneapolis, Minn. From the 1964 and 1965 CNAC Mailing List: William A. Dudding Middle East Airlines Beirut, Lebanon January 4, 2006 Hi Tom, Bill Dudding flew with CNAC until after WWII. Then he switched to fly a DC-3 for the Lutheran World Federation Church group. After the communist takeover the group had no money to pay him. In lieu of his salary he accepted the Douglas in payment. Then he flew for CAT out of Taipeh and leased the DC-3 to them. On one trip over Japan he had a USAF officer as passenger. Whenever we come to a strange airport we do a practice procedure and letdown. The officer reported him as lost and a liar. Dudding had told him he owned the aircraft. That's all I know of Billy. Happy New Year. CED  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
