fstop61 Posted August 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2017 Just saw that Ty Hardin passed away at the age of 87. Enjoyed him in PT 109 and Battle of the Bulge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 10, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 10, 2017 No kidding , RIP Ty. He was a Army Aviator, I gather he was over in Korea, though can't find more on that. Ty graduated from Lamar High School in Houston, Texas, in 1949, and went on to attend Blinn Junior College on a football scholarship. Having been raised deeply religious, he studied one semester at Dallas Bible Institute before joining the Army. He attended Officer's Candidate School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, and as a Second Lieutenant, went to flight school in San Marcos, Texas, where he learned to fly light L-19 aircraft known as the "Birddog". After achieving the rank of First Lieutenant, he served three years overseas during the Korean war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
