    Other notes:
    The quilt was made in 1941-1942 for Martha Carmichael's son William (Billie) Carmichael who was a fighter pilot at that time. When he was declared missing then dead one month later (in Karachi, India) Martha could not finish sewing the back on or do the quilting. The material for the back with the airplanes on it was given to families whose relatives were in the Air Force (one had to apply for it). After Martha died the present owner found it in her quilting box. She asked friends to quilt it for her. Alta Forster and Heather Forster pieced and quilted this quilt in 1995. The quilt is now owned by Elaine Bromby (Billie's sister) who was born in 1945 three hyears after his death.
