So there should be records kept somewhere for them to be able to return him to the States. Is there any way to find out where he was originally buried. Five of his crew are in the Epinal American Cemetery and another one in Lorraine American Cemetery.

Berk,
If you want to wait six month or more, contact the Army Human Resources Command, 200 Stoval Street, Alexandria Virginia, and request his Individual Deceased Personnel File. Mention that yours is a Freedom of Information Act request, and that you are willing to pay all related FOIA costs (usually around $20) and be sure to sign the request.
Hope this helps,
