    • His daughter, Beverly, wrote: "During WWII, Pete Rogers was a fighter pilot (with the HellHawks)in Europe, winning 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses and 12 air medals, and pioneered the use of aircraft as a tool of the Texas Dept. of Public Safety. He was a skilled horseman, adept with a lariat, but he was also a pilot with jet rating.
