He served as an Air Force Officer in World War II in Egypt, Italy and North Africa where he was assigned to the 98th Bomber Group. He served as XO of the 345th squadron, one of 4 squadrons of the 98th. After 1945, he continued to serve as a USAF reserve officer achieving the rank of Lt. Colonel. He worked as an executive with the federal government, primarily at the Pentagon, while he and wife Mary raised their three children in Falls Church, Virginia. In 1964 the Chandlers moved to San Antonio, Texas briefly before retiring in Florida where they lived for 38 years in Ft. Lauderdale and Punta Gorda. In 2005 the Chandlers moved to Austin Texas.
