George E. Mayer - Early Years

Early Years

Mayer was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the island's capital. There he received his primary and secondary education. In the 1960s, during his teenage years, he was unsure of what type of work he would like to do as an adult. This changed as he visited his father who worked at the local airport. Mayer became fascinated with aviation and decided that he would like to become an aviator. His father recommended that he join the Navy and become a Naval Aviator.
