Douglas MacArthur Physical Record Card?

Image
I found this flight card in the pages of a Military basic field manual: Elementary Map and Aerial Photograph Reading. It would be appreciated if you could give me any information on this. Well...for one, I know what you were wondering and this physical record card did NOT belong to General Douglas A MacArthur. First of all, the spelling....This card belonged to a Douglas A McArthur. Notice the spelling. 2nd..according to Ancestry.com, there was a Douglas A McArthur who hailed from Michigan (Where this was found) and he would have been around 27 at the time this date was recorded (Military age). These cards were used in conjunction with a couple of other physical record cards that essentially were the health record of flight crew members. It is not a flight record document. That being said, this physical record card is only worth a few dollars.
