Re: Colonel Howard Kelly USAAF?

Thank you. Can I presume he was in both the Army and the Air Force? Can you tell me anything else about him? What is a "Command Pilot?"

Re: Colonel Howard Kelly USAAF?

David,

Here's an indication about the presence of (then) Lt Col Howard Kelly in the UK in the early 1950s: see http://airforcehistoryindex.org/data/000/440/676.xml

Perhaps this one too: http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/...ation-sealand/

Thru website fultonhistory I found references to Howard Kelly as well, including an assignment as Base Executive Officer at Rome Army Airfield, NY.

Regards,

Leendert
