(CNAC 194? - March 7, 1944)
|
Killed on a plane crash, March 7, 1944. Jeanne Stratford dropped me a note saying, "Ged Brown was a Hong Kong business man and Best Man at Dick (and Jeanne) Stratford's wedding in Hong Kong." December 7, 2004 According to Erik Shilling's book "Destiny" Ged Brown "lived in Miami...Ged had made many trips across the South Atlantic and was hired by CNAC specifically to navigate our ferry flights from Miami to Accra, the capital of the African Gold Coast." p. 204 Brown was Shilling's navigator when he ferried a C-47 from Miami to Accra, but stayed in Accra when Shilling went on to Dinjan. Probably January 1943. Bob Willett or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distributionlist, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
