Hello Dave,
Yes looks like the man, I too could find no other that would fit.
1 Reservist 14091913(A/C) and 10 enlisted 14187782(A/C Edmund - NC); 16042292; 17063862; 31417867; 34313137(Army,NC); 35088942(A/C); 39536431; 395504184; 39559987 and 34677788(NC).

My only other thought is that as he was at some time a Bombardier which was usually a Lt ? So a different service number ?

Thank you,
Alex

Hello,

The Second airman WIA on the same a/c and date was Jack P. Stovall.
He was born on 16th May, 1922 in Florence, Kansas.
Enlisted on 30th June 1942 when resident of Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.
From what I have been able to find on the internet he is still with us at the grand age of 96 years an is at Hampstead, North Carolina.

If possible can someone please confirm that this is correct.

Alex
