Good beer, good music. Dublin Corners Farm Brewery. Hello, Emily and Tim.
Fifty years ago Monday, I soloed an Army TH-55 helicopter at Fort Wolters, Texas. In honor of the occasion I decided to take my flight school mug along to the various watering holes I frequent for a photo series.
The ones we flew were bright orange. They were affectionately(?) referred to a LOBs, Little Orange Bastard. Half a dozen of them bobbing up and down as they waited in line for takeoff clearance was quite the sight to see.

No date, no location. Germany ca. 1937. Probably near Ostrowo (today OstrĆ³w Wielkopolski in Poland).
Since 1937 the glider training courses for the Hitler Youth were carried out by the National Socialist Flyers Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps - NSFK).
A view in the gliding training is given by the following contemorary historical movie from minute 10 and 9 seconds onwards.

Among other things, the pieces give a small insight into the life of young people in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

ALLEN MITCHELL BURDETT, JR., was āto the Armyā born on 25 August 1921, in Washington, DC. The military ran deep in the blood of his ancestors; they fought in every American conflict since the Revolutionary War. His father, a highly respected military judge, became the Armyās senior JAG colonel.
As a Boy Scout at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Allen began his lifelong friendship with a future USMA classmate, Arch Hamblen. Upon graduation from Western High School in Washington, DC, in 1939, he was appointed to USMA by Senator Richard Russell of Georgia. West Point was a challenge, a joy, and the beginning of lifetime friendships. He was commissioned in the Infantry and he and Arch continued a close association throughout several assignments, both overseas and Stateside.
Following the Basic Infantry Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, he joined the newly activated 63rd āBlood and Fireā Infantry Division, Camp Van Dorn, Mississippi. During World War II, Allen commanded a rifle company in the European Theater. His chaplain at that time, Raphael Miller, described Allenās openness and friendliness as evidence of genuine concern and affection for people. He had a deep personal faith and a great reliance on prayer. He stayed on in Germany after the war ended, serving in the operations section of Seventh and Third Armies and with the U.S. Constabulary before returning to the States in 1947.
On 19 April 1948, Allen and Antoinette Salley were married in Asheville, North Carolina. After three years as Assistant PMS&T at Georgia Tech, he attended Infantry School at Fort Benning in 1950 and stayed to serve with the 508th Airborne Regimental Combat Team. In 1953 he graduated from the Command and General Staff College.
Allen was next assigned to Korea, where he served as a battalion commander in the 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. Returning Stateside, he completed the Armed Forces Staff College before assuming duties as the first Army representative to the newly established Air Force Academy, then in Denver.
On graduation from the Army War College and the Army Aviation School, he was posted to the staff of the Aviation School at Fort Rucker, Alabama, from 1960-62. From 1962-65 he served as executive officer to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Development in Washington.
In 1965 he joined the 11th Air Assault Division at Fort Benning, which was reorganized into the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) and deployed to Vietnam. He commanded the Divisionās 11th Aviation Group for almost a year before returning to Washington in 1966 to become military assistant to the Deputy Director of Defense Research and Engineering (Tactical Warfare Programs). In 1966 he was promoted to brigadier general. During this period he received a masterās degree in International Affairs from George Washington University.
In 1968, Allen returned to Viemam as an assistant division commander of the 101st Airborne Division and in 1969 commanded the 1st Aviation Brigade there. General Mel Zais, Commander of the 101st Airborne Division, wrote, āI know I can rely on him to complete the toughest mission and achieve perfection.ā
His next assignment took him back to Washington in 1970 as Director of Army Aviation, until later that year when he was selected to command the Army Aviation Center. Fort Rucker Chaplain Burton Hatch, in a prayer at Allenās funeral, gave thanks for his faithfulness to his Lord, his family, and his country; for his gracious manner and his firm handshake that brought encouragement and inspiration to all who knew him. At his induction into the Army Aviation Hall of Fame in 1980, Allen was cited as having greatly enhanced the role of Army Aviation on the modern battlefield.
In 1973, Allen was promoted to lieutenant general and assumed command of III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas. In 1975 he took command of the Fifth U.S. Army, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and commanded until his retirement in June 1978, after 35 years of active military service. Dr. Duncan Stewart, Fifth Army Chaplain and pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church, spoke of the sad impact of Allenās death on the church and the city of which he was a part.
