Description
Ken
Snowden
grew
up
in
Wayne
, and
enrolled
at
Bowling
Green
Normal
School
in
1939
.
While
there, he
enrolled
in the
Civilian
Pilot
Training
Program
. On
December
7
,
1941
, he was "
out
fooling
around
with the
radio
" in his
car
when
he
heard
about
the
Japanese
attack
on
Pearl
Harbor
. He
applied
for the
Army
Air
Corps
and
became
a
cadet
in
1942
.
After
about
a
year
of
training
he was
commissioned
a
Second
Lieutenant
and
assigned
to
fly
transport
planes
.
Stationed
in
Jorhat
,
India
, he
flew
supplies
"
over
the
hump
" into
China
. The
interview
provides
a
good
description
of
living
conditions
, and the
flying
conditions
there.
Mr
.
Snowden
relates
how, on his
third
flight
, the
crew
had to
bail
out
after
losing
their
navigation
device
and
running
out
of
gas
. They
all
parachuted
safely
to the
ground
, and were
taken
in by the
local
Chinese
,
who
guided
them on a
several
days
'
walk
to the
nearest
air
base
.
Curiously
enough
,
while
Mr
.
Snowden
was "
lost
" in
China
, his
twin
brother
, a
naval
aviator
, was also
missing
.
After
about
a
year
in
India
,
Mr
.
Snowden
rotated
back
to the
states
and
flew
a
C-54
on the
West
Coast
. He
received
the
Air
Medal
and the
Distinguished
Flying
Cross
,
among
other
decorations
, for his
service
. He was
discharged
as a
First
Lieutenant
in
May
of
1946
.
Dale
Bruning
is
the
interviewer
.
