Mac would have been extremely pleased that someone took the time to do such a thoughtful thing. Thank you. The dates that Mac was with CNAC were April 1944 to August 14, 1945. These are dates that the Air Force recognized to make him a vet. He worked for Pan American World Airways as a mechanic and quality control for 39 1/2 years. He retired in 1981.  Wanda, Mac and Gary Miami, Florida - 1954 We lived in Rio de Janeiro, England and Afghanistan while employed by Pan Am. In 1957, Mac and a small group from Pan Am set up the Afghan Airline - Ariana which I believe is still flying. Mac considered himself an international bum. Mac passed away after a long bout with prostate cancer on January 18, 2002 at the age 84. We miss him. I will look forward to your e-mails. If there is anything else I can help your with - let me know. Wanda Mangun wajon@valp.net P.S. Mac wrote his own history: Chapter 1. The beginning of my Life’s Journey 02 2. Mexico 20 3.
