Post-WW2 Prestwick
 
Can anyone assist John F Crow of NY with the following?

My father was stationed in Prestwick during WWII, with the US Army Air
Corps. He returned in '45-'49 as part of a commercial airline, possibly
Capitol Air. I lived in Prestwick in 1947, when I was 4 years old.

I am hoping to find information about the Americans that returned to Prestwick after the war. Any information, archives, or other sources would be most appreciated.

There is also a World festival of Flight celebrating 70 years of Aviation with Prestwick ..http://www.facebook.com/pages/Prestw...98283213600901

The RAFA (Royal Air Force Association ) has a museum that may have information on postwar aviation !

This website is quite interesting as well as you may find information from the organization who may be able to point you in the right direction!
