GED BROWN (19??-1944)
(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."

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.
