Lewelling was Alfred Blevins Lewelling (1920-1996), a son of Lucius Guy Lewelling and Edna R. (Blevins) Lewelling, and a grandson of Asa Lewelling and Amanda V. (Hord) Lewelling. During World War II, "Blev" Lewelling flew in combat in the Pacific with the 9th Fighter Squadron (Flying Knights), 49th Fighter Group, from 1943 to 1945. By several accounts he was an "Ace," with five victories. Morton Air Academy at Gary Field, Blythe, was contracted by the Army Air Corps early in the war to give primary training to Air Corps cadets.
