WWII in south america
i am not sure what my dad was doing, but he spent most of WWII in south america; brazil, nicuaragua, etc. i have his military records and they are rather obscure sounding, courier, flying off to far away places delivering pieces of radar and or other things. he was in radio communications and always told us he had something to do with codes. of course to us kids he must have been some sort of spy!
1945 Natal, Brazil
San Fernando Island, about the same time period
out of uniform in Montevideo (i posted this in an old photo thread in the powder room too) love the suit and the attitude!
he was career air force and spent time in korea during the war there, indochina (pre-vietnam) and iceland.
he was in charge of the radar installation at Tachikawa Japan and that's where he was promoted from Captain to Major. he has been gone since 1962.
