I'm pretty sure it's a different Dyess...
If I recall right...Dyess AFB, was named for Lt.Col William Dyess, an Army Air Corps pilot in WW2 killed in a training accident...

Yes, Dress AFB is a different Dyess....a pre-war P-40 pilot captured when the Philippines fell, survived the Bataan Death March, escaped but killed in a P-38 crash.

No known relation to the Marine Dyess...but they could have been kin.
