A. Patti was a writer, historian and retired Army lieutenant colonel best known for his work with Ho Chi Minh 1945 and his subsequent 1980 book, Why Viet Nam? Prelude to America's Albatross. After his service in the European Theater during World War II, Patti was transferred to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS – precursor to CIA) in Hanoi, Vietnam. While there, Patti was named head of a secret OSS mission under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed to support anti-colonialism in Asia. Part of Patti's mission was to befriend Ho Chi Minh and train Ho's men to fight the occupying Japanese forces in Vietnam. Patti was later pulled out of Vietnam by the United States in 1945 but he continued his friendly relations with Ho and his representatives. After his retirement, Patti worked closely with federal agencies in creating plans for civil governance in the event of a catastrophic attack on the US. Patti also became a well-known writer, recounting his work with Ho in 1945 and the changing face of politics in the Indochina region. Held for publication in the 1950s due to its controversial subject matter on communism, Patti's book, Why Viet Nam? Prelude to America's Albatross was published in 1980 and became known as a critical work on the study of politics in Asia. Patti passed away in Winter Park in 1998 at age 84 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC.","Processed by Alexandra Olsen, April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson, Jonathon Teasley and Katie Seeler.

The Hartzogs were from early Bethlehem, Pennsylvania area. Marriage joined the Worsley family from Sweden with the Hartzogs at the turn of the twentieth century. Wieners emigrated from Germany in the mid-nineteenth century to marry into the Wussow and Blatz families of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The families documented their rise in American business and as strong members of their communities. Herbert J. Hartzog practiced law before the Supreme Court of Pennslyvania. Carl Worsley and Emil Wiener established upscale furniture manufacturing businesses in Pennslyvania and Wisconsin respectively. Their children attended prominent schools including Dartmouth, Wellesley and Pine Manor during the 1930's.\n \nThe families kept journals of their travels in Europe during 1933 just before the advent of World War II providing a last glimpse of the \"old\" Europe before the devastating events of the war. During World War II, John Paul Wiener and his young bride, Margery Anne Hartzog Wiener, were separated for two years while he went through training in Princeton, New Jersey, Miami at the Submarine Chaser School in September 1944, then to Key West and ports in California. Overseas he was aboard the USS Staff in the Pacific. They wrote to each other frequently. Most of the young ensign's letters speak to life aboard a minesweeper in the Pacific. His wife kept up a brave face as she kept the home fires burning in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Their letters are prolific and give keen insight into the events of the day on both the battlefront and home front. Postwar letters give a clear understanding of the new spirit in America as the population expanded its horizons and moved into one of the most prosperous times we have known as a Nation.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection contains the personal papers, journals, documents, ephemera, and correspondence of the Weiner-Hartzog families in the years before during, and just after World War II.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction. \nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.) \nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\"  \nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip. \nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943. \nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help.

I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"...

He migrated to Dania Beach, Florida in 1907 where he and Minnie began farming and raising children as one of the pioneering Black families in Broward County, Florida. He was a strong believer in education and is credited for establishing the Dania School for Coloreds and St. Ruth Baptist Church in Broward County. All 14 of the Mizell children attended high school and 10 of them went on to obtain college degrees. Some of the more prominent Mizell children include Dr. Von DeLaney Mizell, Reverend Ivory Mizell, and Leroy \"Roy\" Mizell.","Reverend Ivory Mizell was a photographer, documenting the lives of African Americans in Broward County. He also established the first library in 1948 at Dixie Court Projects. Leroy \"Roy\" Mizell was a mortician and established the Roy Mizell Funeral Home, today known as the Roy Mizell \u0026 Kurtz Funeral Home.","Dr. Von DeLaney Mizell (1910-1973) earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Moorehouse College in 1932 and completed his medical education at Meharry Medical College in 1936. He held residencies at John Hopkins Hospital, Grady School of Medicine, and Provident Hospital (Chicago, Illinois). Dr. Mizell advocated for better healthcare for the Black community in Broward County. He established Provident Hospital with Dr. James Franklin Sistrunk in 1938. Dr. Sistrunk was the first Black doctor in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sistrunk Avenue in Fort Lauderdale is named in his honor. In addition to his medical profession, Dr. Mizell and Eula Mae Johnson initiated the wade-ins at the \"white-only\" beaches in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1961. One of Florida's state parks' name changed to honor their activism – Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park in Dania Beach, Florida.","Ethel Mizell Pappy was born on May 27, 1916. She attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and Florida Normal and Industrial College, earning her Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education in 1944. She received her Masters of Arts degree in 1955 from Columbia University. Ethel taught elementary students from 1938 to 1982. In addition to her vocation, she served as the first president of the Von D. Mizell Library at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, of which she was awarded for Lifetime Achievement in 2013. Ethel was a member of community organizations such as Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, the NAACP, the Urban League of Broward County, the Broward County Historical Society, the Democratic Club, the Board of Directors of Henderson Mental Health Clinic, and First Baptist Church Piney Grove. Ethel married Lilburne Brogdon Pappy and they had two daughters, Rosamond and Adlai. Her husband worked as a pharmacist at Pappy Pharmacy in Fort Lauderdale. Ethel passed away on May 18, 2014.","Provident Hospital opened in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1938. Black physicians Dr. Von D. Mizell and Dr. James Sistrunk founded the hospital to provide medical services to African Americans in Broward County during segregation. The hospital operated as a non-profit institution, expanding its capacity of 8 beds to 42 beds from 1938 to 1951. Dr. Mizell worked as the Medical Director and supervised staff. After the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Provident Hospital closed due to integration. The building became a community center, the Mizell Center for several years. The building was replaced with the YMCA in 2019.","This collection received file level processing.
