William DeWald wrote a letter on June 10, 1920 to Major L. B. Lent, General Supervisor of the Air Mail Service, reminding him that DeWald was promised a good job. "Before
the war I was always in a responsible executive position of
some sort. This position as Pilot does not give me an opportunity
to demonstrate my ability along executive lines and I know
I would be of more value to the Department in the management
of something bigger."
After DeWald refused to make a flight in July
1920, he was fired from the service. |
