I have been advised by the Heering family that 
Captain Ed Heering passed away in his home on 
June 2, 2007. All of us from the World Airways 
family are deeply saddened by this news and surely 
send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the 
family.

Captain Ed as we called him had a very amazing 
aviation background. Early in his career Captain 
Ed was an Army Air Corp pilot. When cut backs 
occurred in government budgeting, Captain Heering 
saw that the Air Transportation Auxiliary (ATA) 
affiliated with the United Kingdom Royal Air Force 
was looking for volunteers. On January 9th, 1940, 
he and 10 other men were the first American pilots 
to be accepted into the ATA. He served in England 
from May 1940 to June 1945 and ultimately became 
the only American to command an RAF airbase, 
(Lossiemouth, Scotland). During that time he 
developed many friendships from that era and over 
the years Captain Heering returned to the UK for 
annual ATA reunions. On the 50th anniversary of the 
Battle of Britain, Ed, along with his fellow airmen, 
participated in a celebratory parade down the 
streets of London to Buckingham Palace where 
Queen Elizabeth awarded him a special metal for his 
extraordinary service.
 
After World War II Captain Heering was employed by 
Transocean Airlines and World Airways. He was Chief 
DC-6 Pilot at World Airways and later the corporate 
pilot for owner and chairman Edward J. Daly traveling 
to many exotic places world wide.

There will be a memorial service for Ed at 1pm on 
Saturday, June 23, 2007 at Chapel of the Chimes,
32992 Mission Boulevard, Hayward, followed by an 
open house Remembrance at Ed's house, 2632 Warwick 
Place, Hayward.

The Heering family requests that no flowers be sent 
but rather that donations be made to the Oakland 
Aviation Museum (Western Aerospace Museum) in the 
name of Captain Ed Heering. The address for the 
donation is Western Aerospace Museum, PO Box 14264 -- 
8260 Boeing Street - North Field Oakland International 
Airport - Oakland, CA 94614.

Additionally cards can be sent to the Heering family 
at 2632 Warwick Place, Hayward, CA 94542. Any stories, 
memories, or photos that you would like to include 
would be appreciated and will be kept in a family album.

Also please pass on this information to those World or 
FAA friends who are not on the internet or have email. 
Thanks, Dick Kalman
