In compliance with the Selective Service Act, I registered on June 30, 1942 with the Selective Service Local Board # 71, 310 Norton Building, Louisville, Kentucky.
On Oct. 19, 1942 I received my Notice of Classification which was mailed on Oct.17, 1942. I was notified that I had been classified in class 1- A which made me eligible to be drafted for wartime duty.
I was working as a civilian at Bowman Field in Louisville for the Army Air Force. On Oct. 12th I received a letter of recommendation from the administrative assistant of Army Air Force Supply. I mention this because it is one of two letters that helped me to be transferred to the Army Air Force after my induction into the armed forces. At Bowman Field I worked in the supply warehouse, filling orders, putting up stock, inspecting items for use and various other duties. All supplies were for aircraft including maintenance and personnel.
