There was only 1,074 of them and 38 lost their lives while flying.

In addition to being used to ferry aircraft overseas they also did odd jobs like towing gunnery targets.

They were granted veteran status over 30 years ago and up to last year were allowed a space for an urn.

Do all veterans qualify for Arlington? I know that there used to be criteria and not all veterans qualified.
