Desperately Seeking... Pilot Roster
We just received a nice note via the form at the bottom of the page. Ms. Truitt is looking for assistance in finding a list of Fort D.A. Russell students. I know that occassionally I see fort yearbooks for sale on eBay. You may want to try that Janice.
"Is there anywhere I could get a list of names of the pilots who trained at the airfield before/during WWII? I remember my dad, William Dale Weiss talking about Marfa when I was just a kid... Are the buildings south of the highway out by the marfa lights viewing area part of the airfield? Every time I have been out there I was simply itching to go and look at them even though I know they are probably on private land. The last time I was there was some time in the late 1980's... We lived in alpine from 1987 to 1990 - fond memories of fried chicken, potato salad, koolaid, lawn chairs and the marfa lights. That was way back when the viewing area was just a gravel parking lot. I will look forward to hearing from you."
