Michael Garemko
From Lt Thomas Anderson Crew
Completed EFTS training  (basic flight training) before transferring to the US Forces.

Michael Garemko entered the Royal Canadian Air Force in early 1941 and was sent by train to Toronto for basic training at Mannign Depot. He was going through advanced training in Winnipeg, Manitoba in early 1941 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He never completed pilot training in RCAF but transferred to USAAF and went to Officer Cadet Pilot Training. He washed out as a pilot and without a college degree, he could not qualify for Bombardier or Navigational training. His love of the air kept him in the Air Corps and he went to Gunnery training/Engineering School. He became a TTE and flew on "Heaven Sent" and completed 34 Missions. Garemko was also responsible for painting the aircraft nose art and A-2 jackets.

Mike Faley email note:
Another interesting point, almost every date I see for guys transferring from RCAF too USAAF in North American is this May 20, 1942.  I think both Robert Pearson and Richard Cary are transferred the same day also.  Any info or thoughts on that or was it just a blanket transfer.

Answer to above note:
A train traveled across Canada stopping at RCAF stations along the way. Apparently, there were USN, USMC and USAAF personnel available to assist in transferring to the US Forces. Most transfers happened in the month of May 1942.

I may have located another ex RCAF/100 BG member.
www.abmc.gov  has a John  F. Johnson  NY state   + 21 April 44   100 BG
I have a  J. F. Johnson  Kotanah, NY  graduating from No. 8 SFTS Moncton, New Brunswick. 8 SFTS was a service flying training school - equivalent to US advanced training. Upon completion of SFTS, the pilot trainee would receive his "wings."
