Kurt William Kunau was born in Danzig on 6 April, 1906.

It appears he first arrived in the US (New York) on the ship SS Pulaski which sailed on 29 April 1931 from Gdynia and arrived on 11 May 1931. He listed his occupation as pilot.

Another arrival is listed on 18 July, 1933 from Mexico with his wife Clarice. They had been married in Chicago on July 31, 1932. He listed his occupation as commercial aviation. Not clear if he had been working in Mexico (possibly based in Mexico City) or this was just a visit.

He became as US citizen 9 November 1933.

During the war he shows up several times as a passenger on ATC flights. He was then in the army. Possible he was working as a ferry pilot and these were the return flights with several ATC ferry crews returning to the US after flying planes overseas.
