 Thomas Earl Applegate Nanking - January 11, 1946  I received the following letter from Tom's widow, Marcelle Applegate. La Costa, Calif Nov 3 - 2005 Dear Mr. Moore, An answer to your letter about my husband Thomas E. Applegate. Tom was born in Trenton, New Jersey April 6, 1914. In 1942, as he was living in Quebec, Canada, he joined the Canadian Royal Air Force, as a pilot instructer until the end of the war in 1945. Then he went to N.Y. and joined C.N.A.C. in Sep. 1945 to Sep. 1947. Nov 19, 1947 he joined C.A.T.C. until 1950. The owner and manager for C.A.T.C. was Moon Chin. He returned to Calif until he died June 2004 of lung cancer at 90 years old. I am also 90 years old, so please excuse my writing and also I am French, so my English is not so good. I have other papers, also his Log Book. I include this document with his picture in 1946.  Sincerely Marcelle Applegate P.S. I was also living in China from 1946 to Dec 1949.  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
