Hello
Yes, I have browsed through the available records of S B Schloss, and it looks his father arrived arrived from Germany to California, and could be confused with him. He was drafted to the Army, indeed, but it does not give any lead as to where he learned to fly and where he did his service. I find no next of kin of his either, so really not sure where to ask. He was living at Croydon at times, so was a frequent visitor in the UK in 1940s/50s.
Best wishes
