Calling Card and Embossed Graduation Booklet Cover, Lt. Charles D. Goble, AAF Pilot School (Advanced Two-Engine), Turner Field, Georgia
This page preserves the graduation-era keepsakes of Lieutenant Charles D. Goble, a U.S. Army Air Forces pilot commissioned through the Advanced Twin-Engine Pilot School at Turner Field, Georgia. The engraved calling card and the blind-embossed program cover, decorated with a twin-engine trainer and Army Air Forces pilot wings, reflect the formal customs surrounding a new officer's commissioning and wings ceremony during World War II. Turner Field trained thousands of multi-engine pilots destined for bomber and transport duty overseas. Project: 218571
