Re: Military career and fate of Capt. Jack W. HOWARD, O-725730 of Llano, Texas

Here is the wikipedia entry on Williams.

Note he became commander of the XII Air Support Command in January, 1943.

Perhaps we need to look to see if there was some sort of recon unit in that command,
maybe the 68th Observation Group (later called the 68th Reconnaissance Group)?

A little on the 68th: https://www.armyaircorpsmuseum.org/6...ance_Group.cfm
