My father passed away last year at 94. He was a pilot both military (30 years) and civilian for another 10. A few weeks before he passed I asked if I could have his log books. He had thrown them away a few months prior to me asking. 3 wars and 6 years of being a 4 star generals personal pilot and best friend.
I was, and still am devastated. All I can think was that he knew somewhere in one of them, there were things he just wanted to take with him.
