Roger M. Reynolds was born August 5, 1908 in Colville, Washington to Jesse Bartlett Reynolds and Sarah Edel. He died June 28, 1975 in Florida. Honolulu -- November 1937 Roger and his good flying buddy Emil "Scotty" Scott (on the right), sail to China to become Flight Instructors for the Chinese National Air Force. Their transportation is aboard the President Line Ship - Coolidge. (Photo Courtesy of Tom Moore) In the 1943-45 log book of Don McBride, Roger gave his address as:  Rogerd REYNOLDS (L.A.)  Roger Reynolds - best guess is Kunming, 1940(?) (Photo Courtesy of Tom Moore) In 1971 Roger and his wife Phyllis lived at: 1908 N.E. 29th Ave. Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. When Roger died in 1979 their address was listed as: 1908 Intracoastal Drive Ft. Lauderdale, Florida The 1995 CNAC mailing list has Phyllis living at: 1832 S. Ocean Dr. Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33316 I think Phyllis was English. Roger and Phyllis had two daughters. Sometime after 1995, Phyllis went to live with one of her daughters in Georgia, where she died a few years after Roger. Their other daughter (possibly named Patty) was a flight attendant for Delta Airlines. If you can add any information about these two daughters or other family members, please e-mail your CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore. Thanks. September 2, 2001 From Fletcher "Christy" Hanks "Tom Roger was a personal friend of Emil Scott. Roger left CNAC for a while to be test pilot for Bill Pawley's Cmco at Loiwing. He returned to CNAC in 1944 with his wife. They lived in Darjelling so few pilots got to know him. I checked him out on the Hump routes in 1944. He was the most modest CNAC pilot who flew the Hump. The amazing thing, he thanked me for teaching him things he didn't know. He visited me in Oxford but I can't recall much about the visit or his wife. Unfortunately he died before his time. He taught me more than I taught him. Christy"  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
