1st Lt Ronald W. Blair, O-1180819

1st Lt Ronald W. Blair (O-1180819) from St. Clair County, Illinois, is mentioned as KIA in the NARA Archives.
An entry by a niece on wwiimemorial says he was with the USAAF and an air crew member shot down over Europe.

So far I could only find that Lt. Blair was a graduate of the Field Artillery Officer Candidate School, so he may have been an artillery pilot or observer with an FA unit (US Army) and not USAAF.
Stil, some FAOCS graduates ended up in the USAAF after all as fighter or bomber crew.

I wonder who has more info about Lt. Ronald Blair and the circumstances of his death?

Regards,

Leendert
