Last Known Activity:

He flew 50 combat missions in the Mediterranean Theater; and was sent back to the US.  He couldn't stand not being in combat; so he wrote 2 letters to Gen. Hap Arnold, which led to him being sent to England where he flew 29 more combat missions.
The location of his remains is unknown.
