Flight Test Certification of Colonel Joseph Laughlin, May 1944
Title
Flight Test Certification of Colonel Joseph Laughlin, May 1944
Subject
One of several instrument flight tests Colonel Laughlin would complete in the Army Air Corps
Description
In order to make sure pilots were combat ready and effective, the Army Air Corps required Instrument Flight Tests be completed every six months. This one, completed at the 362nd Fighter Group's base at UK Station 412 in Headcorn, Kent, England, is significant because it lists his good friend and Group Commander, Colonel Morton Magoffin, as his Instrument Check Pilot.
