Gentlemen,
Perhaps someone can help solve a mystery for me.
My examiner for my first airman certificate was purportedly a veteran of WWI aviation. This was told to me by both him as well as my referring instructor among others. At the time (October 2, 1979), he was in his early eighties and in perfect health.
However, that day my primary interest was simply getting through the exam, so details have faded over the years. I believe he told me that he was late in the war and missed the opportunity for combat.
In any case, if possible I would like to identify him, any units attached to, and thus verify the authenticity of what is a truly unique link to this conflict for me personally.
Here is his entry in my logbook for that day.
From this one can easily see that his initials are JMH. The last name however is a bit hard to make out. Even so he was the FAA designated flight examiner at Corpus Christi Airport (CRP) Texas on 10/2/1979
I am hoping that someone here might know of databases somewhere that could help me.
Thanks
