After serving in the CCC, Victor served in the ARMY AIR CORPS during World War II, in China. He was a radio operator on a C47 that flew cargo in the China, Burma, India theater of war. When asked what their cargo was, he answered very matter of fact, 50 gallon drums of gasoline. Sometimes when flying there would be a blue flame inside the plane. They called it St. Elmo's Fire. He was honorably discharged on October 27, 1945. He was a loving and generous man. We all loved him and will miss him very much. Victor and his wife Ruth loved to travel, and enjoyed going out to eat. He was also a voracious reader and was a regular at the Dayton Belmont Public Library. He kept track of all the books he read, the name of the book and author.
