When Ray Mitchell reported for military flight training in World War II, he was a 21-year-old Iowa farm boy who had never been in an airplane.
One instructor "looked at me like, what are you doing here?" recalled Mitchell, now 88 and a resident of Woodstock.
The instructor took him up for a quick spin -- literally -- and after the low-level maneuver did nothing but make Mitchell smile, he was in the program.
