Mark Clarke's private pilot during WWII. Dallas Taylor, for a while, flew top-brass in a C-54 also during WWII and knew Ed during that time. The only pilots that were with Ray Wilson were; Art Sinclair, Bert Clark, Jug Jella, Willie Hurt, Johnny Myers, Don Bridie and Warren Heckman. There may have been others but not with Monarch/Frontier. -Ace Avakian (2/22/00) The captain that would make the smoothest landings - every time - regardless of the wind and weather was Jug Jella. Up to this time, I was flying with captains that were ex-military with heavy C-47 time. Jug was not ex-military but could he land that '3! And, as a bonus, one of the nicest guys to fly copilot for - on or off the airplane, for that matter. -Ace Avakian Article in FARPA NEWSLETTER JAN/FEB 2003 (2/4/03) Jug retired Sep. 2, 1981 after 35 years flying with Frontier.
