July 14th is the birthday of Colonel Einar A. Malmstrom. He was born in 1907 and died August 21, 1954 near Great Falls, Montana, in the crash of a T-33 jet. He was a decorated Air Force pilot, a Luft Stalag POW survivor, and a test pilot. Malmstrom AFB was one of the settings for my novel Founders. (The base was named in his honor.)
