The drink is a carbonated mix made with the

Chevy
O
nce upon a time ... the proud owner of
a magnificent 1956 Chevrolet con-
vertible, wrote to say he had restored
the car to perfection over the last few years,
and sent this: On a very warm summer after-
noon he decided to take his car to town.
It needed gas, as the gauge was practically
on empty, but he wanted ice cream, so he
headed first to his favorite ice cream shop.
He had trouble finding a parking space and
had to park the car down a side street.
He noticed a group of young guys standing
around smoking cigarettes and eyeing the car
rather covetously. He was a bit uneasy leav-
ing it there, but people often take interest in
such an old and well-preserved car, so he
went off to enjoy his ice cream.
The line at the ice cream shop was long and
it took him quite a while to return to his car.
When he did, his worst fears were realized...
his car was gone.
He called the police and reported the theft.
About ten minutes later the police called
him to say they had found the car abandoned
near a gas station a few miles out of town.
It was unharmed and he was relieved.
It seems just before he called, the police had
received a call from a young woman who was
an employee at a self-service gas station. She
told them that three young men had driven in
with this beautiful old convertible. One of

window and pre-
paid for 20 dol-
lar’s worth of
gas.
Then all three
of them walked
around the car.
Then they all got in the car and drove off,
without filling the tank.
The question is, why would anybody steal
a car, pay for gas that they never pumped and
then abandon the car later and walk away?
They couldn't find where to put the gas!
I must have known that in 1956 but I didn't
remember it. 15

Then something very strange caught my eye. Proudly displayed on the

base.
The next morning, Louis flew cover for a rescuing PBY that picked up the

nurses, from the C-47.

misjudgment, certainly the pilot would not have displayed the American
flag. I knew there had to be a good story here. Fortunately for us, one
of the Museum's many fine docents was on hand to tell it.
In 1942, the United States needed pilots for its war planes lots of war
planes; lots of pilots. Lt. Louis Curdes was one. When he was 22 years
old, he graduated flight training school and was shipped off to the
Mediterranean to fight Nazis in the air over Southern Europe.
The Local News, April 01, 2018 hbnews1@aol.com 714.914.9797

Lt. Louis Curdes


He arrived at his 82nd Fighter
Group, 95th Fighter Squadron in
April 1943 and was assigned a P-38
Lightning. Ten days later he shot
down three German Messerschmitt
Bf-109 fighters. A few weeks later,
he downed two more German Bf -
109's. In less than a month of com-
bat, Louis was an Ace.
During the next three months,
Louis shot down an Italian Mc.202
fighter and two more Messer-
schmitt's before his luck ran out. A
German fighter shot down his plane
on August 27, 1943 over Salerno,
Italy.
Captured by the Italians, he was sent to a POW camp near Rome.
No doubt this is where he thought he would spend the remaining
years of the war. It wasn't to be. A few days later, the Italians sur-
rendered. Louis and a few other pilots escaped before the Nazis
could take control of the camp.
