Biographical History

Andrew “Andy” Serrell was born in 1923 in Dobbs Ferry, New York and knew at a young age that he wanted to be a pilot; he began taking flying lessons in 1939. In 1941, he earned his student pilot’s certificate, graduated from high school and joined the Navy. He received the most advanced flight instruction found anywhere in the world, including academics and ground school at St. Lawrence University and Wesleyan University, from there he shipped out to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for physical training.  After further flight training, in 1944, he accepted the position as a patrol bomber pilot and he was dispatched to the Pacific to fight the Japanese. Immediately following the war, Serrell continued his education at the University of Maryland and George Washington University; he also studied a new approach to aerial photography and in 1959 he became an air-intelligence officer in the Sixth Fleet under Admiral George Anderson. By 1963, he was selected to go to the Pentagon as a chief briefing officer to the Chief of Naval Operations, ultimately retiring in 1974.Prior to his retirement in 1972; he established his own flight school, Ocean City Aircraft to continue his life-long passion for flying. He married his high school sweetheart, Beverly Francis (1924-2015) in 1944, they had four children. Andrew Serrell died in January 2018.
