Kenneth Keisel | Kenneth Keisel Kenneth G Keisel enlisted in the United States Army Air Corp in January of 1942. In March of 1943 he was commissioned as a Pilot Officer at Luke Field, Arizona. Keiel was assigned to the Air Transport Command and sent off to Chabua, Assam, India. Ken would complete ninety-seven round trips over the Hump, flying the venerable C-46. Because of the difficult terrain and unpredictable weather these trips were challenging and often dangerous. Keisel flew to numerous airfields in China delivering much needed medical, food, and other supplies needed to assist in the war effort against Japan. Keisel received the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, the Chinese War Memorial Medal, and his Chinese Pilot Wings. In 1945 Ken ferried fighter aircraft back to the states, before his discharge on 4th December 1945. Ken served several years as the Flight Leader for the 107th Bomb Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard. Between 1948 and 1991 Ken remained involved in flying primarily as a corporate pilot, but he also served as a research test pilot for the University of Michigan in the mid 1950s. Ken has logged many hours flying Gulfstream 2s and 3s, Lockheed Jetstar, Hawker 125s and Handley Page Jetstreams. |
