  • “Coincidences”?
    “Coincidences”? By Jim Kurtz Author of The Green Box Robert Russell Kurtz was born January 8, 1919, in Akron, Ohio. Along with his family, he moved to White Plains, New York, in 1933. Margaret Florence Luther was born May 19, 1921 in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1928, she and her family moved to White Plains. Although Bob and Peggy didn’t know each other as children in Ohio, their paths would “coincidentally” cross in 1941 in a church in White Plains. A year later, on March 28, 1942, they were married. Robert was drafted into the United States Army on July 23, 1941. Less than five months later, the United States was at war. For close to a year, he trained as an artilleryman in the United States Army Coast Artillery at Camp Davis in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, but his desire had always been to become a pilot, so he applied for pilot training and was accepted. In June 1942, he was assigned to flight training in California. Over the next nine months, he trained at three different air bases: Mather, Ontario, and War Eagle. In April 1943, he was ordered to Marfa Air Base in Texas, where he was joined by his wife and a son, Bob, born that February. After months of rigorous training, 2nd Lieutenant Robert R. Kurtz was awarded his pilot’s wings, and sent to Casper, Wyoming, for heavy bomber training. There, it was discovered he had a deviated septum, which could interfere with his ability to breathe the oxygen he would need at altitude, so his training was briefly interrupted by surgery to correct the problem.
