From time to time we will post images and texts of letters our uncle Lester LaVerne wrote home while he was in training to become a Radio Operator on board a C-47 troop transport plane during World War Two. These letters are included in their entirety in our book “Not Forgotten: A Pacific Northwest Family Brings Their Soldier Home“
- July 24, 1943 – Devil spotted looking for real estate near here
- 1943 Happy Mother’s Day
- “Hangman”
- September 4, 1943 – Masks all day, Rationing, Fall coming
- Spokesman-Review article features “Not Forgotten: A Pacific Northwest Family Brings Their Soldier Home”

Greetings,
By odd chance I happened to look at the C47 sight tonight after not being here for a couple of years.
My father also was in training in 1943 for piloting C-47s.
