From Nazi era to Flight Dreams Hank Gillebaard's remarkable life
Hank Gillebaard, born in America to Dutch parents, endured Dutch wartime hiding, risked life delivering notes for a teacher, and escaped Nazi peril before becoming a pilot via the U.S. Army and NATO training roles. He built a business, lived in California, and inspired a 2015 book “Private Lucky.” A life remembrance is planned for May 7 at San Clemente Villas.
