Information On Navy Pilots Sought

Winecoff.org is seeking to locate family or friends of two Navy pilots from the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, whose names appear on the December 7, 1946 Winecoff Hotel guest list above. Lt. H. J. Curtiss and Ens. G. J. Walton were both registered in room 806 at the time of the fire.

Though that area of the hotel was burned, neither pilot was listed among the dead or injured. More than 95 percent of all other guests were accounted for during The Winecoff Fire book research.

If you can help us learn more about Winecoff Hotel guests H. J. Curtiss or G. J. Walton please contact allenbgoodwin@yahoo.com. We are interested in learning of their stories.

Information is still being sought about two Army soldiers, Capt. William C. Willard and Lt. Frank Johnson.
