Keith Cole, born in Muskegon, Michigan, in 1924, served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1942-1945 in England during World War II. After completing his training at Miami Beach, Keith was sent to England in 1943 where he was assigned to the 22nd Anti Submarine Group. Keith was then sent to Herington Air Field where he served as an Engineer on B-24 bombers utilized by the OSS.
