Re: 1st Lt Ronald W. Blair, O-1180819
Did some further digging. Lt Blair may be related to death of 2nd Lt Elmer F. Kern Jr., liaison pilot with 365th Field Artillery Battalion, 97th Infantry Division and KIA on 10 April 1945 when plane was shot down near Aachen.
Interestingly, Lt Kern (O-539994) is also mentioned among those involved in USAAF accidents when flying an L-2 in Kansas (1944).
