From Gene Banning's list of 8/31/00: "... 11/43; flying rice drops Nov 1944." In the 1943-45 log book of Don McBride, Homer listed his address as:  R.S. HOLMES JR. 1023 W 6th AMARILLO, TEXAS Red's address in 1971 was: R.S. Holmes 9 Hopewell Drive Stoney Brook, N.Y. 11790 (spelling should be "Stony", no "e".) September 14, 2001 Hello Tom, I enjoyed perusing your web site, and expect to spend more time at it in the future. My Father ("Red" Holmes) was a CNAC Pilot, and perhaps I could contribute some old records and stories of his to you. Hope all is well with you and your family considering the recent events in New York City. Sincerely, Tom Holmes ttholmes@gmail.com  "Red" and Garnet Holmes -- Mary and Tommie Wong Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe in NYC - 1945 (Courtesy of Red's son, Tom Holmes) Now let's look at those faces a little bit closer.  December 30, 2003 My father R.S. Holmes Jr. wrote a tale from his tour with the CNAC in "Wings Over Asia" Volume III, 1995… thanks for your web site. Michael Holmes mh@mmholmes.com PS… he also mentions Captain James Ramsey Fox, Jr. his co-pilot L. Thom and operator K. Wong who were lost in their C-47- # 53 at “Fox’s Pass” on “The Hump” and others who are listed in your “Pilots” page.   or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
