In 1942 Curtis Fulton joined the US Naval Corp at Kansas City. He was sent to Lindsborg, KS to get his pilot license. From there he was sent to Liberty, MO and later to St. Louis for more training. At this time the Naval Corp and Army Corp were combining into the Air Force and Fulton was sent home and told to report to their draft boards. Curtis was the only son and was ineligible to be drafted. Fulton was in the US Navy 1942 -1943.
