Cool story. My Grandfather passed away last fall. He was a glider pilot during WWII. The greatest generation.
Mr. Dillinger was born July 2, 1920 at Bernice, Okla. to William Franklin and Amanda Elizabeth (King) Dillinger. He had lived in Miami since 1980 moving from the Grove area. He served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II from 1942-1946 and then served in the U.S. Army from 1950-1951. He was a member of the American Legion, the 40 et 8, the Grand Lake Good Sam's Club and had served with the Northeast Oklahoma Veterans Funeral Detail. Mr. Dillinger was the last of the Glider Pilots.
