World War II, Korean War, gubernatorial (for Tennessee Governors Clement and Ellington), airline (Capitol Airways), and private company (Warren Limestone) pilot George Wallace became UT’s first flight operations pilot in 1965. When Warren Limestone was sold, the plane he had been flying for Bob Anderson was also to be sold. Wallace went to Dr. Andrew Holt and told him that the plane was available at a good price and that he needed a job. For 20 years, Wallace piloted UT officials to every nook and cranny of Tennessee and throughout the United States. Following service in World War II (Distinguished Flying Cross with one oak cluster, Air Medal with three oak clusters), Wallace returned to Tennessee and attended George Peabody College. He then earned a law degree from Vanderbilt.
