'In Friendly Skies'

(Part 2)

As we saw in last week’s Chronicles, learning to fly out of Pat Bay Airport in wartime could be deadly.

No fewer than 179 young airmen were killed in the line of duty during their training, 1939-1945.

In recognition of Remembrance Day 2023, we continue this little-known story of Pat Bay’s lost airmen in Part 2 of ‘In Friendly Skies,’ next week.
