Makers Brothers Fly Boyhood to World War II Air Roles
The Bruce Field Ballinger yearbook The Cadet chronicles R C and L C Maker brothers from Clinton OK who rose from small-town farming to civilian flight instruction that aided World War II. They earned licenses after barnstorming in 1938, taught primary flying at Bruce Field, and later built Maker Brothers Flying Service near Abilene. Both died with long aviation careers and no combat in the war.
