LT. WAYNE MANLOVE
The body of First Lt. Wayne Manlove, killed in an airplane crash in California last week after he had completed his missions in the Mediterranean theatre of war, was returned here for burial this week and was taken to the home in Milton, where funeral services were held at the Methodist Church today with Rev. C. H. Rose of Indianapolis and the American Legion officiating.
Burial was made in West Side Cemetery in Milton.
You have read many letters from the daring young flier in Traveler columns. He at one time carried a copy of our weekly for 3 months reading it over and over, while he was changing bases so rapidly that the mail service could not catch up with him in the earlier days of the war in Africa and Italy.
He was an expert at the helm of a plane, establishing his record in a P-38. And he was not afraid of it, either. The airfield at Dayton engaged his services at one time to give a grueling test to a new motor--wanted it abused and abused for 7 hours in the air. He did the job, and when he set the plane down at the end of the period he had loosened every bolt in the body--just what they wanted him to do.
His death came in a routine training flight here in this own U.S.A. All sympathy to be bereaved parents of a brave and dauntless solder in the best air corps in the world.
