AD Goes Over The
Chile and Charlie Get 15-Yr. Pins;
Top in Mighty 7th 79 Are Awarded 3 and 5 Yr. Pins
Two of NBA’s most outstanding men celebrated 15 years with PAA during June — Captain “Chile” Vaughn, Assistant Chief Pilot, A-0, and H. Parker Tilton, Assistant Shop Superintendent, who’s known around the hangar as “Charlie.”
Once more the Atlantic Division went over the top in support of a drive for funds—this time the Mighty Seventh War Loan Drive. Our goal of $125,000 was topped by $9,250, our final figure being $134,250.
In addition, the System Office has announced a purchase of $30,000,000 in War Bonds, $5,000,000 of which has been alloted to the Atlantic Division.
A citation from the Queens chapter of the United States Treasury Department, stating that our fine cooperation “could only be prompted by a full sense of loyalty to our government and responsibility to our fighting men,” was received.
The final returns are as follows:

ANNOUNCEMENT!
Building Superintendent George Cronin requests that people who desire to scrap lumber, please leave name and address in his office in the Carpenter Shop or call him on Ext. 251.
Charlie Tilton rose from the ranks. He joined Pan American in the Canal Zone in 1930 as a mechanic’s helper. He had worked part time for us while he was in the army. In 1937 he transferred to Port Washington as mechanic 1st class and in 1939 he was made an inspector in Baltimore. He transferred to NBA in 1941 in that game capacity. July of that same year he was appointed Assistant Chief Inspector and in 1942 was made Assistant Shop Superintendent.
Sgt. Bill Striffler, ex-POW, Visits NBA
Another former NBAer has distinguished himself in this war. Sgt. William J. Striffler, he was Bill Striffler, clerk in the Stock Room when here at NBA, returned to see some of his friends and related some of the grim horrors he’s undergone since he left us.
Bill was a gunner and engineer on a B-17 with the 8th Air Force and was shot down over Leipzig and spent a year as a POW in several prison camps. He was marched 800 miles from Stettin, across Poland and Germany. Finally he was liberated by the British.
Bill’s now on a 60 day leave, after which he’ll go to Atlantic City for reexamination and reassignment. He told Bill Holmes of the Stock Room that he wanted to be remembered to all his friends whom he wasn’t able to say hello to when he was visiting, and that he’s looking forward to renewing acquaintances when the war is over.
KETCHIKAN SERVICE RESUMED
Climaxing long months of continuous effort by the Company to obtain the necessary clearances, Pan American recently resumed its air service to Ketchikan, after a five year interval.
Anticipating increased traffic to Alaska since the key salmon-packing center of the world is once more linked by air with the United States, the Company stepped up its flight schedule to 16 round trips weekly between Seattle, Ketchikan, Juneau and Fairbanks. (Flights to Nome and Bethel remain unchanged.)
Following graduation from Vanderbilt University and pilot training for the Army Air Corps, Chile flew in China — from Shanghai to Hong Kong —on a line taken over by Pan American in 1930. He was a Senior Pilot.
Here he acquired the nickname Chile and so well-known and popular did he ^become in that section that the term airplane was soon replaced with “Here-comes-Chile,” a phrase still used to describe aviation in that part of the Orient.
Chile spent seven years in that sector of the world and in 1937 transferred to Manila. In subsequent years he transferred to Baltimore and Miami, where he checked out as Captain. North Beach was his next assignment where he was made Master Pilot. In 1944 he was appointed Assistant Chief Pilot and in December of that year he transferred to A-O.
Four NBAers were also awarded their Three Year Gold emblems, who had not previously received them: Norbert Bensabat, Minnie Gwinner, William Morrison, and Marvin Pincus.
