COLLECTIONS

Emmett Stewart Epley

This collection consists of letters exchanged between Emmett Epley and his family members from the fall of 1942 through the end of the Second World War. Epley served as a navigator in the Army Air Corps, and his letters provide descriptions of his training and service when he was stationed in Guam, and flew 35 combat missions over Japan. His family letters offer details, often quite colorful, of life on the Montana home front during those years.
