Haggerty was born in Eagle Creek, Alabama on October 6, 1920. Soon after the start of the war,  he tried to enlist as a pilot in the U.S. Naval Air Corps, but was rejected because he wore glasses. So he decided to wait until he was drafted in order to serve which occurred on September 10, 1942, and assigned to the U.S. Army Air Corps. Haggerty then attended basic training and instructed in airplane mechanics. He moved through several training camps and military bases in the process, including: Columbia SC, St. Petersburg and Clearwater FL, Gulfport MS, Patterson, NJ, Salt Lake City UT, Dyersburg TN, Wendover UT, Fairmont and Lincoln NE, Memphis TN and finally Morrison Field in West Palm Beach FL. at Dyersburg, Haggerty became acquainted with the mechanics of the B-17's and later the B-24's.  Later at Fairmont,  he finally would be assigned as crew chief to the B-24 numbered 636, on the 726th Squadron of the 451st Bomb Group.\n One notable incident Haggerty recounts is that, at one point in Fairmont, while the air crew was practicing maneuvers. The 636 was flown twice by a different team who reported excessive oil pressure on the aircraft's four engines, which forced Haggerty to lower it; despite good reports from Sidney Winski, the 636's usual pilot. After the decrease in oil pressure the aircraft experienced failures in a series of flights in which one or more propellers failed. The most severe of these occurred during a flight between West Palm Beach and Trinidad, in which Haggerty was on board. There, the sudden stop of three of the four propellers in midair forced them to make an emergency landing in the isle of Saint Lucia. Haggerty would later blame the failure of the engines on the low oil pressure which he finally fixed once the crew got to Brazil. Because of this incident, the crew renamed their plane \"Three Feathers.\"\n Haggerty continued flying aboard \"Three Feathers\" as it took the Southern route on the way to Europe, making stops at Saint Lucia (forcefully), Trinidad, Belem and Natal in Brazil, Dakar in Senegal, Marrakech in Morocco and Telergma in Algeria until finally reaching Italy by the end of 1943. They remained stationed there until June 1945, first in the air base at Gioia de Colle and later in the one at Castelluccio dei Sauri both in the region of Apulia. Eventually, a new flying crew was assigned to Haggerty and the \"Three Feathers,\" but after a short time, the plane was taken from them, deemed \"war weary\" and later scrapped. He remained at the base performing maintenance on different planes until the surrender of Germany.\n By the time of the surrender of Japan, Haggerty was still in the service, back in the United States. He was discharged on September 12, 1945 having reached the rank of Master Sergeant and having been awarded a Bronze Star.

Haggerty was born in Eagle Creek, Alabama on October 6, 1920. Soon after the start of the war,\u0026#xA0; he tried to enlist as a pilot in the U.S. Naval Air Corps, but was rejected because he wore glasses. So he decided to wait until he was drafted in order to serve which occurred on September 10, 1942, and assigned to the U.S. Army Air Corps. Haggerty then attended basic training and instructed in airplane mechanics. He moved through several training camps and military bases in the process, including: Columbia SC, St. Petersburg and Clearwater FL, Gulfport MS, Patterson, NJ, Salt Lake City UT, Dyersburg TN, Wendover UT, Fairmont and Lincoln NE, Memphis TN and finally Morrison Field in West Palm Beach FL. at Dyersburg, Haggerty became acquainted with the mechanics of the B-17's and later the B-24's.\u0026#xA0; Later at Fairmont,\u0026#xA0; he finally would be assigned as crew chief to the B-24 numbered 636, on the 726th Squadron of the 451st Bomb Group.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne notable incident Haggerty recounts is that, at one point in Fairmont, while the air crew was practicing maneuvers. The 636 was flown twice by a different team who reported excessive oil pressure on the aircraft's four engines, which forced Haggerty to lower it; despite good reports from Sidney Winski, the 636's usual pilot. After the decrease in oil pressure the aircraft experienced failures in a series of flights in which one or more propellers failed. The most severe of these occurred during a flight between West Palm Beach and Trinidad, in which Haggerty was on board. There, the sudden stop of three of the four propellers in midair forced them to make an emergency landing in the isle of Saint Lucia. Haggerty would later blame the failure of the engines on the low oil pressure which he finally fixed once the crew got to Brazil. Because of this incident, the crew renamed their plane \"Three Feathers.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaggerty continued flying aboard \"Three Feathers\" as it took the Southern route on the way to Europe, making stops at Saint Lucia (forcefully), Trinidad, Belem and Natal in Brazil, Dakar in Senegal, Marrakech in Morocco and Telergma in Algeria until finally reaching Italy by the end of 1943. They remained stationed there until June 1945, first in the air base at Gioia de Colle and later in the one at Castelluccio dei Sauri both in the region of Apulia. Eventually, a new flying crew was assigned to Haggerty and the \"Three Feathers,\" but after a short time, the plane was taken from them, deemed \"war weary\" and later scrapped.

After graduating from Thomasville High, Langford was drafted into the Army, at age 20, alongside his brother, William, who was killed in action. George Langford served under General George S. Patton from 1942 to 1945. George Langford's other siblings, Annie, Will, and Daniel, were in the Navy. After spending most of the war on the European Front, George Langford was honorably dischaged and returned home. He then attended the University of Virgina, where he received his bachelors and his law degree in 1950. Upon graduation, George Langford founded the Municipal Code Corporation in Tallahassee in 1951. After marrying his wife, Marian Corbin Lawton, in 1954, the two worked together to expand the company. Langford was named the Florida Entrepreneur of the Year in 1989 and inducted into the Institute of American Entrepreneurs for his work. Langford was incredibly active in the Tallahassee community, co-founding Springtime Tallahassee, helping start Leadership Tallahassee, and revitalized the Tall Timber research institute in Tallahassee. Among his community involved was his work in fundraising for  various local beneficiaries. He brought his expertise in fundraising to Florida State, serving as a founding member of the Seminole Boosters Board of Directors during the 1970s and in six terms as the FSU Foundation chair. Among his greater contributions to the school was his work in the 1970s as executive of Seminole Boosters, helping save the football program from debt and playing an influential role in hiring coach Bobby Bowden. In recognition of his work, Langford received many awards from the university, as well as the naming of the Langford Green in 2000, a grassy area outside of Doak Campbell Stadium, in his honor. Additionally, he created the George R. Langford Eminent Scholars Chair in Classics through his donation to the department. As of 2017, he remained an active member of the Florida State University Community, despite his age. His children are also very involved in Florida State and the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience. George Langford passed at age 95 on January 3, 2019.

Langford was incredibly active in the Tallahassee community, co-founding Springtime Tallahassee, helping start Leadership Tallahassee, and revitalized the Tall Timber research institute in Tallahassee. Among his community involved was his work in fundraising for  various local beneficiaries. He brought his expertise in fundraising to Florida State, serving as a founding member of the Seminole Boosters Board of Directors during the 1970s and in six terms as the FSU Foundation chair. Among his greater contributions to the school was his work in the 1970s as executive of Seminole Boosters, helping save the football program from debt and playing an influential role in hiring coach Bobby Bowden. In recognition of his work, Langford received many awards from the university, as well as the naming of the Langford Green in 2000, a grassy area outside of Doak Campbell Stadium, in his honor. Additionally, he created the George R. Langford Eminent Scholars Chair in Classics through his donation to the department. As of 2017, he remained an active member of the Florida State University Community, despite his age.

She grew up during the Great Depression between the homes of her mother, her grandparents, and finally, her father, in Portland, Oregon. She married her high school boyfriend after graduation, though the two eventually separated before Jackie joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in 1942, which later became the Women's Army Corps (WAC). She joined the army with the intention of serving, earning money, and eventually going home to go to school.\n Jackie went to basic training at Fort De Moines, Iowa, in January 1943. She then attended Army Administration school in Conway, Arkansas, to learn to how to serve as a non-commissioned officer (NCO). She became a First Sergeant and went on to teach a cadre of women recruits at the WAC Basic Training Center in Monticello, Arkansas. She later served at an Army Air Corps base in Selma, Alabama, where she turned down the opportunity to become an officer in favor of serving overseas.\n She took the French cruise ship Ile de France across the Atlantic and was stationed in Salisbury, England. She worked as secretary to the Base Commander and worked on paperwork in preparation for D-Day. On Christmas Eve 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge, Jackie and seven of her WACs flew to Paris, France, to work at General Eisenhower's Headquarters. She served as private secretary to General Robert A. McClure, the head of the Army Psychological Warfare Division. The role of this Division was to develop propaganda pamphlets to drop on the German people to convince them to surrender. The Division would also send jeeps close to the front lines with microphones and speakers calling for the Germans to surrender.\n Jackie lived and worked in Paris, dating enlisted officers and touring the city. As a First Sergeant, she actually made more money than the enlisted soldiers she dated, earning $120 per month. Jackie anticipated V-E Day in May 1945 because of the correspondences in General McClure's office and participated in the Parisian celebration. In June 1945, Jackie moved with General McClure and the Psychological Warfare Division to General Eisenhower's new headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. They were renamed the Information Control Division and developed pamphlets about concentration camps to drop on and inform the German population of what their country did. She traveled with the general to the other Information Control Division offices in Berlin, Brussels, The Hague, Copenhagen, and Oslo.\n Jackie eventually received her orders to go home to the United States because General McClure was going home. She sailed to New York on the Queen Mary, discharged, and flew home to California. Later, she went to Dayton, Ohio, to meet Jim Voelkl, a soldier with whom she had corresponded throughout the war. He proposed and they married in February 1946. They had a son and a daughter. Jackie believed that serving in the Army made her an independent person, and she dedicated the rest of her life to serving US veterans. She was a Post Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and participated in World War II remembrance ceremonies in France. She died June 8, 2014, at the age of 92.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Entered 01/30/2017","The Jackie Voelkl manuscript contains one folder with a 44-page typed transcript of an oral history interview.  Jackie Voelkl served as a First Sergeant in the Women's Army Corps from 1942 to 1946.

Taken as a whole, the Pettengill Collection provides tremendous insights into the daily life and experiences of a non-combat American soldier serving in the European Theater.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections \u0026 Archives.

Wallace and Marie H. Wallace. Prior to being inducted into the Army Air Force, Wallace had just earned his high school diploma. He received basic training in Mississippi before being sent overseas as an aircraft radio operator for the Army Air Force in June 1943.  While serving in the European Theater of Operations, Wallace was assigned to the 62nd Troop Carrier Group, 4th Troop Carrier Squadron, following his unit to Egypt, Italy, France, Greece, Austria, and Switzerland.  Wallace was eventually discharged from the United States Army Air Force on November 18, 1945 and soon after married Evelyn J. Wallace.  He reenlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force on 16 December 1949, serving in the military for another eighteen years before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel on September 14, 1967.  He spent several years working at Florida State University from 1971-1977 and remained in Tallahassee before his death in 1988.","Note written by Siegler III, Richard J.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed in 2015.","The William H. Wallace Collection was donated to Florida State University by his daughter, Robin Wallace Turco in May 2015.  The centerpiece of the Wallace Collection is a series of forty-six letters and postcards from Josette Asphiotis, a French penpal, to William Wallace from 1944 to 1946.  They met sometime in September of 1944 while William was serving with the Army Air Force in Lyon and continued to correspond until after William returned home to Illinois.  These letters highlight the human experience of World War II.  Both Josette and William use their correspondence as a form of coping with the pressures of wartime service and conditions.\n  \tMoreover, these letters provide an example of overcoming the language barrier between American servicemen and French civilians, as well as offer insights into the transformation on the French homefront following the expulsion of the Nazis, French animosity towards the Germans, rationing, and the airmail system.  On a more intimate level, their correspondence is an expression of human desires and an emotional connection solidified in ink.  Also included in the Wallace collection are letters from William's mother, from a young American woman named Judy Murry, several from Marcel C. Schiess, a friend at Seymour Johnson Field, North Carolina, William's military records and birth certificate, and also many photographs and postcards from his service in Italy and Egypt.  Taken as a whole, the William H. Wallace Collection offers tremendous insights into the daily life and experiences of an American Airman serving in the European Theater.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections \u0026 Archives.
