Colonel Charles E Hughes (deceased)

Charles Hughes was born in Asheville, North Carolina on the 8th of April 1921 and grew up in California. Hughes joined the Army Air Corps in 1941 and flew at least 26 combat missions over Europe. Charles Hughes trained on B-17s but transferred to B-24s on arrival in England with the 44th Bomb Group. He first saw combat in May 1943 on a mission to Kiel. A couple of months later he was in North Africa preparing for the Ploesti Raid, and on the mission he flew 'Flossie Flirt'. Badly damaged and low on fuel he headed for neutral Turkey and was interned. He subsequentdy managed to escape in a fishing boat to Cyprus and then back to England. After the war Charles completed his studies at Stanford graduating with a BA and MBA. His service continued in the US Air Force retiring as Commander of the Satellite Test Center, Sunnyvale. Charles Hughes passed away peacefully on Oct.ober 17th, 2010.
