Paul,

There's a hit on footnote.com when you enter John A Berntson. A half page report seems to give details about his loss, but since I'm not a member, I can't read the fine print.

On 22 Sep 1942 15 P-39 and 20 P-40 fighters escorted a dozen B-17 and B-24 on a bombing raid to Adak Island, but mission was aborted due to weather. Perhaps Berntson went missing on this flight?

Regards,

Leendert
