Wingate's air officer was U.S. Colonel Philip Cochran, who had won some fame of his own as the model for "Flip Corkin" in Milton Caniff's comic strip, Terry and the Pirates. On their first meeting, Cochran thought Wingate was an elaborate hoax, and was so baffled by his British public-school accent (Charterhouse) that he was sure Wingate suffered from an impediment in his speech. But at their second meeting, Cochran found "something very deep" about him and realized he "was beginning to assimilate some of the flame of this guy Wingate...
Graham was a shade too fatherly, Sheilah implies, to be fully satisfactory as a mate, but he did replace the U-brush with some H's and cured her of saying "Oo-er! Wot an 'at!"

Inside Cocoa, strapped into parachutes and Mae Wests, buckled to seats, heavily helmeted, sat Brigadier General Donald W. Saunders, 45, commander of the four-plane mission; a six-man crew headed by Plane Commander Lieut. Colonel George Broutsas, 39; and eight civilians. William J. Cochran, 36, and William R.

...celebrate May Day in their own way. More and more, as men of law become familiar with the legal systems of other nations, they find-often to their astonishment-that there are indeed basic common values. Impressive evidence of this fact is found by Assistant U.S. Attorney General George Cochran Doub through his experience in handling U.S. Government litigation in the courts of Western Europe. "We find that each legal principle we know seems available in the same or other terms in the civil law countries." says Doub. "And so, may I suggest that no country has a monopoly upon...
Fresh from her election as first woman president of the 47-nation Federation Aeronautique Internationale, Aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran rested up on the 600-acre California ranch of Financier Husband Floyd Odium, whooped happily about the job: "Great guns! It never dawned on me a woman would be elected, considering the number of countries involved." Future assignments for Flyer Cochran: two trips to Paris for F.A.I. meetings, an astronautics convention at The Hague in August, the federation's general conference next May in Moscow...
