** I think the original Flying Dragons were the 119th. **

Bob, you're right if you are referring to the original (81st Trans) 119th opening what turned into Camp Holloway and the 52d Bn. They were the original "Flying Dragons," and the camp was named for WO Charles Holloway of the 81st Trans.

What Carl was saying to me is that, even though the 119th (and all other Holloway units) were "Flying Dragons" as part of the 52d Bn, the Company's callsign was actually "Black Dragon" at that time, and the two names (FD & BD) were born at the same time.

Great stuff.

Bob
