He was the son of Mr. and Mrs Silvio Gambonini and brother to Ray Gambonini, Earl Gambonini and Edna Mae Brown. Paul took flying lessons and earned his flying license at age 19. Soon after, he obtained his commercial license. After completing courses at Boeing School of Aeronautics in Oakland, CA, he was hired by United Airlines and flew as a co-pilot from Denver, CO to Cheyenne, WY and Chicago, IL. Paul and Elizabeth met at a New Years dance in Petaluma and were married in 1939. He volunteered for the Army Air Corp and was accepted as an experienced pilot, bypassing flight school and combat training. He was in combat in Java and New Guinea in the first months of World War II and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. When he returned to the US he was stationed at Dale Mabry Field, Tallahassee, FL where he was Operations officer and left the Army Air Corp as a Lt. Colonel. After the war he returned to California and purchased a ranch in Lake County. He was both a cattle man and a dairy man and served on the Board of Trustees of the Petaluma Co-Op Creamery (Clover Brand) for 10 years. He and Elizabeth have lived on the ranch for 66 years. Paul enjoyed golf and was a member of SIR's #100 (Sons In Retirement) in Petaluma, the Golden Roosters Trailer Club and the California Cattleman's Association. He was also a member of the Air Force Association and Legion of Valor."},{"label":"Find e-Books by This Author","value":"View <a href='https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?adv_all=%22Gambonini%2C%Paul B.%22|AND&searchtypes=Full%20text|Metadata&filter_190=Sonoma%20County%20Local%20Author%20and%20Visual%20Artist%20Works&applyState=true'>e-books</a> by Paul B.
