Oral History Interview with Horace Thomas Edwards, February 16, 2015

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Horace Edwards. Edwards joined the Army Air Forces in February 1943. He received basic training at Sheppard Field, radio training at Harlingen, and aerial gunnery training in Sioux Falls. He completed his training as a B-24 radio operator gunner in Holyoke. He was transferred to Godman Field, where he served as a B-25 radio instructor to the Tuskegee Airmen. Towards the end of the war, he was stationed at Columbia Army Air Base as part of a ground control approach unit, helping pilots learn to land blind in preparation for poor weather and blackouts. Edwards returned home and was discharged in 1945. He remembers V-J Day as a time of celebration in crowded streets.
