Former Louisiana Civil Air Patrol cadets were eyewitnesses to the high weirdness surrounding  David Ferrie, pilot, pedophile and CIA recruiter, who met Lee Harvey Oswald and Barry Seal at a two-week summer camp of the Louisiana Civil Air Patrol in July 0f 1955.

Eddie Shearer recounts watching Ferrie use hypnotism to stop the bleeding of a young cadet who’d sliced his hand open. And long-time Louisiana pilot James Poche corroborates evidence that Ferrie ran the Lakeshore Airport operations of CIA subsidiary Civil Air Transport, using five DC-4’s which—after Ferrie’s apparent “suicide”—ended up in the hands of  CIA pilot Barry Seal.
