We were welcomed warmly and visited and were shown all the new things. We loved the handsome young airmen that shared their stories. And all wanted to hear about Lt.Colonel Ammon.

Thank you, Mrs. Ammon. “This Day in Aviation” tries to keep history of aviation alive by writing about events and machines, certainly, but ultimately, it is about the People who participated in those events, or designed, built and flew those machines. TDiA is honored to have you visit, Mrs. Ammon. Please accept my condolences on the passing of Lieutenant Colonel Ammon.

My husband Robert C.Ammon was stationed in China in 1944 and in the 11th Bomb Squadron. We visited the 11th Bomb Squadron in 2017 at their present home at Barksdale AFB. Met the Commander, Lt.Colonel Fish and several of the fine men in the squadron. It is good to know such long good stories of this most honorable Squadron and the men who served.
