Comments: My father was Captain Alvin W. Hill and was killed in
a C124 crash outside McChord AFB in Washington state
in 1961. I just found this website and posts - and
am curious if anyone knew my Dad or any details. I
was only 11 when he was lost, and my memories are
very hazy. I'm collecting information and would love
to have any info or suggestions. Thank you so much.
