    Air and Space Friend

    Honored by:
    Ms. Patricia A. Squire

    Fred was an airplane mechanic at Eagle Field, California in 1944. Due to poor eyesight he was not in the military but worked on military aircraft.

    He had many hours in light planes and was working at the field where Amelia Earhart and "Wrong Way" Corrigan landed in Alameda, California. He gave many photos (copies) to the National Air and Space Museum archives of early aircraft.

    Wall of Honor profiles are provided by the honoree or the donor who added their name to the Wall of Honor. The Museum cannot validate all facts contained in the profiles.
