NameInfo
Clifford Barraclouth
*Signature Value : £20

Clifford R Barraclough received his pilots license in 1940, and a commerical rating a year later at Bettis Field in Pittsburgh. In 1943 Clifford was hired by All American Aviation - later to become Allegheny Airlines - as an instrument instructor based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Shortly thereafter Barraclough joined the US Army Air Corps, and was stationed at New Castle Army Air Base as a service pilot for the Ferry Command. Initially stationed in Nashville and later Reno, Barraclough was reassigned to Misamar, India in early 1945. For the balance of the war Clifford flew the Hump in the C-46 from India to Kunming, China. In 1946 Barraclough was recalled by All American Aviation, and flew SR-10s and Beech D18-Cs for air mail pick-up. All American then entered the passenger business flying DC-3s, and changed its name to Allegheny - later to become part of US Air. Barraclough remained with the airline until his retirement in 1977. He captained a number of aircraft including Convair 340s, 440s, 540s and 580s. Also, on September 1st 1966, Clifford piloted Alleghenys first scheduled jet flight in a DC-9.
Kenneth Keisel
*Signature Value : £20

Kenneth G Keisel enlisted in the United States Army Air Corp in January of 1942. In March of 1943 he was commissioned as a Pilot Officer at Luke Field, Arizona. Keiel was assigned to the Air Transport Command and sent off to Chabua, Assam, India. Ken would complete ninety-seven round trips over the Hump, flying the venerable C-46. Because of the difficult terrain and unpredictable weather these trips were challenging and often dangerous. Keisel flew to numerous airfields in China delivering much needed medical, food, and other supplies needed to assist in the war effort against Japan. Keisel received the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, the Chinese War Memorial Medal, and his Chinese Pilot Wings. In 1945 Ken ferried fighter aircraft back to the states, before his discharge on 4th December 1945. Ken served several years as the Flight Leader for the 107th Bomb Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard. Between 1948 and 1991 Ken remained involved in flying primarily as a corporate pilot, but he also served as a research test pilot for the University of Michigan in the mid 1950s. Ken has logged many hours flying Gulfstream 2s and 3s, Lockheed Jetstar, Hawker 125s and Handley Page Jetstreams.
