Leonard Meyer
WWII | 374th Troop Carrier Group
As soon as Leonard Meyer became 18, he got the order to go to Fort McPherson for induction. Just as Leonard Meyer's father drove up, an Army captain showed up and offered Leonard a job as his driver. Politely declining, Leonard said he would rather enlist in the Air Force. A few weeks later, Leonard was sent to Air Corps training in Mississippi to train to use a teletype machine. (5:17)
