Most of this article's biographical data is pulled from here http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/Biographies/Display/tabid/225/Article/107747/major-general-clayton-lawrence-bissell.aspx.

It's an official, Air Force website, so it's probably true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mthibode (talkcontribs) 04:28, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sworn Deposition and not Disposition

edit

This is the author of English-speaking Witnesses to Katyn - you can reach me at researchingkatyn@gmail.com

On May 10, 1945, at SHAEF Headquarters in Paris, in the presence of a JAG attorney assigned to the War Crimes Unit, John H. Van Vliet, Jr. was deposed under oath - i.e. a sworn deposition. A disposition is something completely differenct.

If you have any questions please fee free to contact me - otherwise, please reread the news article you reference. Thank yo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.200.195 (talk) 22:26, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Year or birth 1893 or 1896?

edit

Bissell's grave at Arlington Nat'l Cemetery claims "1893" whereas all the usual AF.mil sources going back to the 1953 AFHRA Historical Study 91[1] claim "1896." I've added this to the list of things to research when I return to AFHRA in Sep-Oct 2022 where hopefully I can settle this matter :-) Rob Rosenberger (talk) 03:10, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Issues with "Post WWII" section

edit

I'm at AFHRA studying the master HAF SO books 1946-1953. I've added some refs -- except I can't find an SO to support Bissell's assignment in May 1946, nor can I find an SO to support his Oct 1948 assignment, nor can I find an SO for Bissell's Apr 1950 assignment. The 17 Oct 50 SO-204 reassigns him from HAF to a hospital, but where did he come from?

My guess right now is that he got assigned in other months. It'll take a while to scour the master SOs to find each one. Right now, though, we can correlate SO-100 & SO-139 & SO-204 to hypothesize he didn't return from Europe before taking his whirlwind vacation. I'll keep y'all updated as my research continues.
