Talk:Harold M. McClelland

Death date 1951 or 1965
At first, I listed a death date of August 31, 1951, taken from the USAF biography. After I saw the Arlington National Cemetery page with its photo of the tombstone, I changed the death date to November 19, 1965. One of the glaring problems with the 1951 death date is the reports of McClelland's success in the CIA from September 1951 to 1953. Even though I haven't found a definitive obituary online, I think the gravestone inscription is the most likely date. Binksternet (talk) 05:33, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Another Harold M. McClelland in the U.S. Air Force
In the 1950s and 1960s, another Harold M. McClelland served in the USAF as a jet jockey, rising at least to the rank of colonel. In 1955, the colonel led four F-84 Thunderjets to set a nonstop record for single engine jets by flying 4,840 miles from Yokota AB, Japan to Williamstown, Australia, in 12 hours 10 minutes. As commander of 12th Tactical Fighter Wing, McClelland oversaw the first F-4 Phantoms phased into an Air Force unit. From 1962 to 1965 he commanded the 12 Flying Training Wing AETC and was well liked by his men. He died of a heart attack in July 1965.

I don't have any idea whether the two men are related. Binksternet (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
