Re: Looking for Info about Donald K Willis, Finnish, Norwegian AF, RAF and USAAF
Donald Kenyon Willis (* 1 Aug 1911 in Marion, Indiana) was a foreign volunteer and signed with the Finnish Air Force a contract Nr. 38 on 22 Feb 1940 as an aircraft mechanic (military rank Sergent). Was sent to the Air Academy and quite soon to the T-LentoR 2 (replenishment unit). However, the war ended on 13 March 1940 and Willis was exempt from service on 1 Apr 1940. He never flew against the Russians.
