Gerard (Jerry) Ferris wrote to me: “Think, Glenn Rodgers mentioned it to me once and I had heard it before in the old NCO Club. (My drunken butt may be in the bushes in one of the old photos by the way.) Anyway, the story goes that Doc Holiday was going past the plane (B-25 above/below) and noticed the tail number. Story goes that he flew on that very plane many years ago and had to jump out of it during some action. The pilot saved the plane but wasn’t much left of it. Also, Doc was supposed to be the second highest decorated NCO in the USAFSS after Korea. The highest decorated was a guy named Clu Culliger who went on to star in some movies. These could be just some old bar stories but there is some truth in all of the legendary drinkers stories from USAFSS.”
