He served as a Col in the "Army Air Force" from 1942 until Feb 1946 (''F.D.R.'', p 183), just after the close of World War II, and mentions a few times working in the Pentagon building during this time. It is not clear to me where they lived from 1938 to 1946. I believe from 1943 to 1945 they probably lived in or near Washington, DC so Curtis could work in the Pentagon building for the Army Air Force. In 1946 they moved to San Antonio, Texas where "Col and Mrs Curtis Dall" appear several times at society events. The first mention I can find of a speech is [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=69097859¤tResult=12&src=search&firstvisit=true here] in the ''San Antonio Express'' 20 Mar 1947 (page 11) where his topic to the Fenwick Club was "Leadership". In the 1940's, he became active in politics, campaigning "...for Strom Thurmond, who was the Presidential nominee of the conservative States' Rights Party".<sup>[[#Footnotes 1|A]][[#Footnotes 5|R]]</sup> | He served as a Col in the "Army Air Force" from 1942 until Feb 1946 (''F.D.R.'', p 183), just after the close of World War II, and mentions a few times working in the Pentagon building during this time.

| + | In ''F.D.R.'' he explains that it was when he left the Pentagon and went to live in Texas in 1946 then he started becoming more conservative. Previously believing that many of F.D.R.'s policies were his own or those of the Democratic group to benefit this country, he later came to believe that F.D.R. and others were acting under orders of a secret "internationalist", large-money group whose aim was to control the world. | ||
