Vermillion Civil Air Patrol 1957-1959

My grandfather, Elmer Sorensen, was an original member of the Vermillion, South Dakota squadron of the Civil Air Patrol.  During his service, he kept a scrapbook of photos, newspaper clippings, programs, letters, and posters.  I have finished digitizing the 72 page album and am making the contents available online for public use. This album not only chronicles the history of the Vermillion squadron of the CAP but also the spread of aviation in the Post-war Period. As a family historian, it is my hope that the content in this album will help others paint a more complete picture of their loved ones and offer a glimpse of the past.

Vermillion Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP); Apr. 28, 1957
