I was at the 3RD LAS(Light Aviation Section) just about a mile out side of Camp Red Cloud (I Corp) 1961-1962 when I left in Jun,1962 their was talk about making the 3Rd LAS into a company as it was the last section left in the Army. It was formed during the war. I can't find any trace of the 3RD anymore. Some have said the they think it was made into Camp Lu Guardia. I was wondering if while you were there anyone ever made coments that this might have been the 3RD LAS before they changed the name? When I was there we had about 30 GI's and about 12 officers as pilots. Art Parker Ed Messmer,
