Re: Major James (Johnny) Corkhill USAAC info needed ....
Hi all,
I am trying to locate any information and even better a photo of Major James Corkhill. I know he was involved in the B17C lend lease program for RAF Coastal Command in 1941/42. Apart from that not much else. Sorry ... one other thing, 'Johnny', as he was nicknamed was a test pilot for the acceptance program of the B17A Thanks for all your time and help! Regards Danny

Re: Major James (Johnny) Corkhill USAAC info needed ....
Must be Major John D. Corkill instead. He's mentioned as such in the July 6, 1938 edition of the newspaper The Olympian (Olympia, WA) as "air corps representative at the Boeing plant".
Also see https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...davis-corkille. Note different spelling of family name (assuming they are the same person...) Plus https://www.earlyaviators.com/ecorkill.htm where B-17 involvement is also mentioned. Regards, Leendert |
