Harvey received orders to report back to the United States on October 16, 1944. He was immediately shipped to Naples, Italy where he eventually caught a ride on an Air Transport Command (ATC) hospital plane.  Their first refueling stop was Casa Blanca, then on to the Azores. The C-54 flew directly to Bermuda and after a short stop landed at Laguardia Field, NY on November 3, 1944.

Harvey was immediately processed at Fort Totten on Long Island, New York (ATC Headquarters) and was assigned to Camp Atterbury, Indiana for reassignment.

Harvey then spent 22 days on leave with his family in Lorain, Ohio before traveling to the AAF Redistribution Center in Miami Beach, FL.  While processing at the center Harvey was asked if he wanted to go to B-29 school, his answer was "NO!"

On December 16th, Harvey departed Miami and arrived at Larado Army Air Field on the 18th of December.  While at Larado, Harvey was able to fly solo in the first time in over a year. He spent time practicing instrument flying and night flying. 

On the February 18, 1945 Harvey was transferred along with a group of other "returnee" pilots to Moody Field in Valdosta, Georgia. Here they started  transition training to become instructors on the B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

On March 12, Harvey was transferred again, this time to Bryan Army Air Field, Texas for advanced instrument training in AT-6 Texans. In less than six weeks at the school Harvey would log more than 76 hours in addition to Ground School and time spent in the Link Trainer. Harvey passed his Instrument Check on April 25th.

When Germany surrendered unconditionally on May 7, 1945,  Harvey had flown around five hours in the B-25. Suddenly the school was closed and Harvey was sent to Camp Atterbury, Indiana again. This time to separate from the service. He was placed on "inactive duty" and headed home to Lorain, Ohio.
