Student pilots were usually assigned the campus in their region. If Florida, chances are he attended GaTech School of Military Avation (SMA), and the archives are in Atlanta. Happy to provide address offline.
If your man had a regional accent, that would be a clue to which archives to check.

Pete,
Extremely helpful....thanks! I have to find this book.
I suspect he was a native Texan, I do remember that...very much so! I was stationed in NAS Kingsville at the time and examined in CRP.
If so would that still be the same SE regional school as Florida? A recent Over the Front issue had an article about advanced training in Arcadia...very interesting stuff!
Thanks a lot!
