First Lieutenant Redford

First Lieutenant Jack Redford

US Third Army

Lt Redford is a fictional character from a story I am currently writing. It is set in January 1948, and is styled as a sci-fi B Movie. Redford is in the US Army and stationed in Berlin.

As far as I can tell, the Third Army had actually left Berlin a few months earlier, and at the point my story is set it was garrisoned by the US Army Air Corps (the Berlin Brigade having not yet been established). However, for the purposes of my story I wanted him to be Army, not Army Air Corps, so I took a few small liberties with details – which is most unlike me. Usually I’m a stickler for historical accuracy!
