Capt. Bob
REMEMBERING COL. PHIL NEWMAN
A "Celebration of Life" Commemorative Service for Col. Phil Newman will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 4, 2013, at the Wings of Dreams Aviation Museum, Keystone Heights Airport.
Col. Newman was a WWII B-17 pilot, who served in the European Theater of Combat (Italy) in 15th Air Force, 99th Bomb Group and 347 Bomb Squadron. For many years, he was the spokesperson for the Decrepit Birdman, a group of local combat airmen, and active in many veterans organizations in the Gainesville area. But his passion was teaching WWII history in classrooms of a multi-county area.
Col. Newman was an avid supporter of Wings of Dreams and the annual Wings of Dreams Air Shows. In recent years, he donated his personal memorabilia, WWII keepsakes and artifacts for display.
We dedicate our museum reopening to the memory of Phil Newman.
