Note: John Forest Green (1922-2011) was a native Texan who entered the World War II era Army Air Corps pilot training program as a 2nd Lieutenant. Not long afterwards he was flying deadly combat missions in his P-38 aircraft named "Ranger" against the Japanese in the Burma/China theater. This heroic service was recognized with several awards from the Air Corps. At the end of World War II, Green, now Major Green stayed on to train new pilots. After leaving the military he worked as a U.S. Post Office Inspector, served eight years in the Texas legislature, chaired the Texas Agriculture Committee and owned a Hereford Cattle ranch until his passing in 2011. During all this time he continued his love of flying in a Cessna airplane and maintained his pilot's license for 65 years, reputedly the oldest continually active pilot's license in the country until 2011.
