USMA Class of 1938. Cullum No. 11222.

On May 1, 1934 as James Rhea Luper, he married Rosalind Price in Yuma County, Arizona, both age 21 years of Los Angeles, California. The marriage was annulled on June 15, 1934. On June 18, 1938, he married Louise Perrine Ryder, daughter of Lieut. Colonel Charles W. Ryder, Commandant of the United States Military Academy, in the chapel at West Point, New York. In 1943 as James R. Luper, he divorced Louise Luper in Dade County, Florida. Both later remarried. On December 24, 1946, Louise Luper (1916-1993) married John Francis King at Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. On November 23, 1943, he married Rene (Irene) Hiller. In 1954 his widow, Rene Hiller Luper married John Russell Dillon in Polk County, Florida. In May 1956 as Rene G. Luper, she married Walter S. Hardin in Manatee County, Florida.

James Rhea Luper Jr. was the son of James Rhea Luper, a former Oregon state engineer and Eleanor Potter Luper Bouvy. He graduated from Hill Military Academy in Portland and attended the University of Oregon. In 1933, he enlisted in the United States Army. In 1934, he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy from Senator Frederick Steiwer. Upon graduation in 1938 he was assigned to the Army Air Force. After training he remained at Randolph Field to assist in the training of Aviation Cadets. Following assignments included Director of Training and Commandant of Cadets, Army Air Forces Pre-Flight School at Maxwell Field in Alabama; Executive for Training and Operations, Army Air Forces Officer Candidate School and Officer Training School in Miami Beach, Florida.

After dozens of requests he was assigned to a bombardment squadron. His B-17 was the 1,000th Fortress built by the Douglas Aircraft Company at Long Beach, California and was named Rene III in honor of his wife. It was assigned to the 750th Bombardment Squadron. On January 4, 1944 he took over as Commanding officer of the 457th Heavy Bombardment Group. The aircraft left Grand Island, Nebraska on January 17, 1944 flying to the British Isles, arriving at United States Station 130, Glatton between January 21 and February 1, 1944. During World War II, he served 16 months in Europe and flew 20 missions. On October 7, 1944, he led the Fireball Outfit to Politz where his B-17 and was shot down over Stettin, Germany. Seven of the 11 men aboard died. He bailed out at 25,000 feet, landing in Stettin Bay where he was picked up by a German launch after two hours in the water. He escaped from the prison train, but was recaptured after six days. He was sent to Stalag Luft III near Sagan, German where 6,667 other American POWs were held and was liberated on April 29, 1945.

He was the model for the character of Colonel Joseph Ryan played by Frank Sinatra in the movie made from the book Von Ryan’s Express by David Westheimer (1917-2005), who was also a POW at Stalag Luft III during World War II. After the war he attended several Service Schools and spent 2 ½ years in China where he was Deputy Director of the Air Force Advisory Group. General Curtis LeMay assigned him as Chief of Security, Strategic Air Command. He established a Security School at Camp Carson in Colorado training thousands of officers and airmen. In 1951 he became Deputy Inspector for Security at Strategic Air Command Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. Later in the year he was scheduled to be the Air Provost Marshal General assigned at the District of Columbia.

On Saturday, February 28, 1953, he was piloting an Air Force B-26 from Ent Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado to Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, Nebraska. The plane was making its final approach with the aid of the Ground Controlled Approach (radar) system when it lost altitude rapidly and crashed about nine miles west of the base near the Platte River. Colonel Luper, Lieut. Colonel George R. Groves of Dallas, Texas an Army officer attached to Colonel Luper’s office and Tech. Sgt. James R. Armstrong of Garden City, Alabama, a flight engineer, all died in the crash. His decorations included the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross with oak leaf cluster and the Air Medal with two clusters. The Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service from January 11, 1951 to February 28, 1953 was awarded posthumously to Colonel James R. Luper, 1448A, United States Air Force. Survivors included his widow, the former Rene Hiller of Philadelphia; five children: Jare Luper, age 6; a second daughter, age 5 and son, age 2 1/2 of Omaha; daughter, Carol Luper and son from his first marriage of Richmond, Virginia and one sister, Mrs. Carl (Eleanor) Neupert of Portland, Oregon.

----
While assigned as a group commander at Tucson, Arizona, General Curtis LeMay recognized Jim's outstanding qualities and assigned him as Chief of Security, Strategic Air Command. The present concept of Air Force Security is Jim’s brainchild.
In February of 1953, Jim was informed that he would soon be transferred to Washington to be the Air Provost Marshal General. While returning to Omaha from an inspection tour of several bases. Jim requested a Ground Control Approach (Radar) to assist him in his landing at Offutt Air Force Base. The night was bitterly cold and snow filled the air. There was a crash—and then silence. Jim had joined "the Long Gray Line."

1637 I534  Luper  Sarah Jane  29 Mar 1843  Nov 1927  REMINISCENCES OF TRIP ACROSS THE PLAIN
By JANE LUPER DOUGLAS
Now, as Uncle John Luper has crossed the Plains, I will see what I can think of, or see if I can freshen up my memory of those childhood days out on the Plains where we saw Indians, Buffalo, Rocky Mountain Sheep, Sage Hens and Rabbits.
It was in the Spring of 1853 that I remember well of leaving the old Home place in McDonough County, Illinois, for Oregon.
My father had three large wagons loaded with provision and clothing besides a large spring wagon that Ma and us children rode in. This wagon was drawn by a span of large mares, and the large-loaded wagons were drawn by oxen. We had several cows that were broke to yoke and hitched to the wagons the same as the oxen, but I don't remember of seeing the cows put into the teams with the oxen.
After bidding all the friends and relatives good-bye, we drove up to Uncle Issac Butler's to stay that night. And after supper there, we went over to my Grandfather Robinson's and there ate another supper, though my supper there consisted mostly of biscuit and honey and I don't think that I have ever tasted honey that was half so good, and that too with big fat cream biscuit. My, I can almost taste them yet.
Well, after bidding those relatives good-bye in the morning, we started on, and it seemed to me only 2 or 3 days till we reached the Mississippi River that we crossed at Burlington. There we stopped for awhile. I remember that Ma went into the store and done some shopping. And I sat there in the wagon and watched the fashionably dressed women. It seemed to me that I never saw so many pretty women. I am surprised now that our men didn't all stop there - according to my childish fancy they were something grand.
Then on and on we traveled, through the state of Iowa through storm and mud. When almost across that State, we saw the first Indians

98

out in their war paint, great tall, strapping big fellows that made us children crawl back into the wagons and cover up our heads.
The Indians came out to meet the emigrants, holding out their hands, begging for money. Before we reached the Missouri River, we stopped at Council Bluff to load in provisions that had been shipped on ahead from some point near our old home, I think Canton. After Pa and the men had loaded in their freight, we drove on and I believe crossed the Missouri River that afternoon, late. There on the steamer that crossed us over, I saw the first Negro that I ever saw. And that scared me almost cold, for as he pulled our hack on deck, I thought he was going to pull us into the river. But we were all cold that night for we had to crawl off to bed with just crackers and hardtack for our supper. I remember of complaining over that night's lodging too. The river was rising fast and the men had to get some teams together and haul the wagons up out of the river bottom into the woods that was higher land; and there tied their teams to the trees ill morning. There is the spot where Omaha now stand. Then, after driving out into the open prairie, a pretty spot I thought, they made a fire and cooked eur breakfast. I don't remember anything of importance for a long distance, only the long tedious journey. It was travel all day. Stop and camp. Cook and eat - the next day the same thing over. And so on to the end.
I can look back now and see so many little things that are only "memories" now.
And I don't wonder that the men got too lazy to wash their faces when we struck camp-even refused to wash before they ate. I remember one evening that Pa told them there was no supper for them unless they washed and cleaned up a little. And just think of the dust and heat. But we were all there and had to keep moving if it was tiresome, and so it was. I remember of crossing Green River, a rough, rocky stream but the water so low that we forded. And after crossing safely, I got the worse scare that I encountered on the whole trip with an old Indian.
I was riding in Uncle John's wagon and an Indian came sneaking up along beside the wagon as we were waiting for other teams to come on;
and the off ox, Old Buck that would not let any of us children come near him was so very kind that he let that old Indian come forward between him and the wheel to look in and see what was inside of that wagon. Of course he saw a rifle strapped on each side of the wagon bows. Well, maybe I did not let out a yell loud enough to raise the dead on those plains, and I gave Uncle John a scolding besides. To this day I have no love for an Indian nor do I like to read Indian stories
Well do I remember old Fort Laramie where Pa came near turning one of his men away for taking something that did not belong to him. I wrote my name on that Independence Rock that Uncle John mentions in his diary, and I tried to do what I saw others do, except to plunge into some stream and try to swim.

99

I also remember a big snow storm on Bear River on the 4th of July. I also remember Hot Springs and crossing a small stream where the water was hot enough to wash clothes. One spring they called Humboldt that was huge like a great boiling kettle. On Platte River I saw a herd of buffalo plunge into the river and swim across to the other side. We heard thunder storms in that country that were hard to beat. So along in that country it was thunder storms and Indians. One time as soon as our cattle were turned loose, they swam across a stream and into the woods' they went, seemingly on an Island I know. I rode there day after day, reading the Guide Books to see where would be our next camping places; those books which tell the names of streams and mention the camping places and if there was grass or not. Pa made it his business to walk on ahead towards evening to hunt up a camping place where there was water and grass - and wood if to be had.
Well, finally we drifted on over the Cascade Mountains into Oregon, or better yet, into the Willamette Valley and on into Linn County where Pa bought out Avery Smith's Donation Claim, paid him $500.00 in gold - yes, in 50 dollar "gold slugs" that I never forget. There we were in a house again and how glad to have an earthen plate to eat on once more. Now you know all the rest. So, good-by till we reach the other country.

April 10

It took my father six months in 1853 to make only a part of that trip - and to write a little history. My Father had Jane-10; Lewis-5; James-3; George-1; when they crossed the plains. My mother's family: Father and Mother-50 and 49; Oscar Warren -22; Lansing-20; De Lavantia Elizabeth-18-my Mother; James- 14; William-13. My father got thru well - but my mother's folks when they arrived at the Fort Hall location in Idaho near Boise were so badly off that they took the rear wheels of their wagon and made a cart of it and used the best yoke of oxen from there to the Portland area and the two remaining oxen to be killed for food. And all the children walked barefoot from there to the end of the trip and only carried what had to be for absolute needs. My mother had some sheets that she had woven and carried them until she had to throw them by the wayside - she was so little - never weighed more than 108 or 110.

In later years my father's wife died and my mother had married and had Raleigh, David and Vesta Anne and became a widow. Grandmother Warren kept house for my father a while, then my mother moved in with her three children and they were married. And when I look back on that hardship, I wonder how they stood it. And my mother had the most wonderful discipline. One of our real sins was to snuff our nose instead of using our hankies. At the table once when we were all seated - help and all - about fourteen, help and all, I snuffed my nose (I was probably six) - I heard my mother's foot tap on the floor. I looked and caught her eye. A side-wise nod of the head that meant leave the table - and I quietly left until the meal was over and then I finished my meal but no one except myself and mother knew what had happened. And there were very few "don't's" in my childhood. I was allowed a lot of leeway. One day while on the old ranch, a man passing by while I was out in front, stopped to pass the time of day and asked who lived there, etc. And asked me it I was a good boy. I told him I "minded my mother". He said, "Well, you are a pretty good boy if you mind your mother."

My early childhood was a very happy one - we were never "hard up" - good horses, cattle, sheep, wagons, etc., well-kept fences, barns, harness, etc.

1644 I1673  MacAlpin  Kenneth    13 Feb 860  [dunbar_tree.FTW]

The name Dalrieda for the Scottish kingdom based in Argyllshire (and for its parent kingdom in northern Ireland) fell into disuse from the time of Kenneth MacAlpin. {Encycl. Brit., 1956 Ed., 6:994; 20:146:} "Dalraida [sic] threw off Pictish control and
in 843, when the Norsemen were attacking Pictland, Kenneth MacAlpin, king of the Scots, established a claim by the Celtic law of tanistry to the Pictish throne." Kenneth reigned 844-859. Cf. H. Pirie-Gordon, "Succession of the Kingdom of Strathclyde,"
`The Armorial', Vols. 1-2. Kenneth is regarded as the first king of Scotland. He united the Pictist kingdom with his own base in Galloway, and in later years expanded into Lothian (southern Scotland, then part of Saxon Northumbria).
He also had a daughter who married Run of Strathclyde, a king of Scots (they had Eocha, king of Scots). http://www.magoo.com/hugh/scotskings.html (in 2002): "'On the Stone of Scone (http://members.aol.com/Skyelander/mediev20.html), Kenneth MacAlpin,
already king of Scots, was made King of Picts (http://members.tripod.com/%7EHalfmoon/pict4). . . . about mid 9th century, the Scots themselves only represented 1/10 (10%) of Scotland's people. They became dominant through battle and marriage. The
Celtic . . . Scots passed Kingship down through the male line. The Celtic Picts, by way of the female.' 'His Pictish mother was descended from the royal house of Fortrenn, and his great-grand uncle, Alpin Mac Eachaidh had actually reigned as King of
Picts until deposed by Oengus I.' MacAlpin's Treason (http://members.tripod.com/%7EHalfmoon/macalpin.html). He married his daughter to Rhun (http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page78.asp>, King of Strathclyde, and Rhun and she were the parents of Eochaidh.
(Professor Donnchadh O Corrain says that the wife of King Rhun, the mother of Eochaidh, was the daughter of Constantine. The Vikings in Scotland and Ireland in the Ninth Century (http://www.ucc.ie/chronicon/ocorr2.htm).) The Annals of the Four Masters
(http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T100005A/) record: 'M835.15 Gofraidh, son of Fearghus, chief of Oirghialla, went to Alba, to strengthen the Dal Riada, at the request of Cinaeth, son of Ailpin.' (841–859) [843]. Grandfather of Niall Glundubh. His
daughter Muire was the mother of Conghalach. He died of a tumor in the palace at Forteviot, Perthshire, and was interred on the Isle of Iona. Father of Constantine and Aodd."

1645 I1169  MacCrinan  Duncan    14 Aug 1040  [dunbar_tree.FTW]

Duncan married a daughter of Siward, Danish Earl of Northumbria (a Viking) and his first wife Elfleda of Northumbria; Siward, d. 1055, is son of Earl Berne of the Royal House of Denmark. Duncan succeeded his maternal grandfather, Malcolm II, in 1034
("the first example of inheritance of the Scottish throne in the direct line"); previously he was King of Cumbria (ruling from Strathclyde){-Encycl.Brit.,1956,7:736,20:146}. He was slain by his own general, Macbeth. His male line ruled Scotland until
the death of Alexander III in 1286. Duncan is the first king of the House of Atholl. http://www.magoo.com/hugh/scotskings.html (in 2002) states: "Acceded to the throne on November 25, 1034. Considered the first 'general ruler.' In his reign, the
north and west of Scotland were conquered by Northmen under Thorfinn. 'Duncan (http://hometown.aol.com/Skyelander/timeline.html), made King of Strathclyde after the battle of Carham, helps kill his grandfather Malcolm II and becomes King of a (largely)
united Scotland.' Married Aelflaed. He was killed in battle by one of his commanders, Macbeth, on August 14, 1040, at Bothnagowan, near Elgin, Morayshire. Interred on Iona. "Duncan I (http://members.aol.com/Skyelander/mediev20.html) of Scotland, was
actually, (as opposed to the more well known Shakespeare version), an impetuous and spoiled young man whose six years of kingship brought glory neither to Scotland nor to his family." He married Aeflaed (Sybil) of Northumbria about 1030 and was the
father of Malcolm III and Donald III."
