    Description

    Please make sure that if you live in an apartment, or hotel, that you don't have your purchases sitting in a hallway. I ship everything with a tracking number.
    Once item is delivered, I have met my ebay requirement.
    It appears that a previous owner of the log book has some entries for 1963. He then passed it on to another check pilot who flew used the log book from Sep 65 to Jan 66.
    He mainly flew in the Bell OH-13 and the UH-1 A & D models. He mainly worked out of Hanchey and Shell Field. There are over 20 pages of log entries, including one Precautionary Landing.
    Total time logged was almost 900 hours.
    The fellow was born in 1920 and hailed from Texas. He served in the US Army and was a Captain. Just became aware he was a POW. I have not done any research on that background. I am
    assuming he was a POW during WWII. He passed away but looks like he lived to a ripe old age. I don't have any other items from this man.
