ROLL CALL

This web site originally came into existence dedicated to tell the story of the aviation unit that was to become known as The Flying Circus. Though this was a small unit by many standards, its relationship with the Headquarters & Headquarters Company of the 1st Brigade was very important.

While this story is about the aviation unit itself, there are a number of people from the HHC 1st Bde proper that had a definite relationship with the unit. Some looked after us while we were on the ground, while others actually flew with us on occasion. The bottom line is that these people were our close comrades in arms. They were, and still are, our personal friends.

All those that have been tracked down in recent years and who's details have been collected are listed on this page alphabetically. The details on each person are shown on separate pages in chronological order. This in itself tells a bit of a story. The members of the aviation unit are on one page while members of the HHC are on another page. This is in no way meant to put more importance on one group over another. It simply helps to locate the people associated with the unit based on how they were assigned to the HHC.

Those who's name is followed by "(HHC)" on this page will be found on the "HHC 1st BDE proper" page, while the remainder will be found on the "Aviation Unit" page.
