Last Known Activity
He enlisted at Houston, TX Jan 30, 1942 as an Aviation Cadet.
In the South Pacific, he served as a pilot with the 387th Bomb Squadron, 312th Bomb Group 5th Air Force.
Initially established in New Guinea, the unit began flying out of Leyte in November 1944. His unit flew the A-20G "Havoc" medium bomber. It flew in combat missions as a low flying bomber and strafer.
Further details of his service and loss not known at this time.
Note:
This is a probable MACR for Captain Alsup, though it relates to the only A-20 shot down during that time period from the 312th. This incident is reported to have occurred on 13 January 1945 which is possible due to time zones. MACR 11321 for an A-20, tail #43-22168
