Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2023 1:19 am
Greetings all, needing to see if I can get some help with info on a Sgt Clyde Alexander Maples, R/100843, RCAF, Born: June 28, 1915, Johnson County, Texas. Died: September 25, 2003, Riverside, California.
Discharged from RCAF February 22, 1942. Transferred to USAAF
What I am thinking is that he was in an SFTS to get his wings, can't find which one, as he was trying to get his wings the U.S. was brought into the war, the U.S. requested that Americans wanting to transfer for the time being stay in training and graduate, then transfer over to the U.S. Forces. As I understand it, each student that got their wings in Canada, the U.S. paid Canada for the training when they transferred.
Any help would truly be appreciated.,
George
