Sadly he seems to have passed away:
Floyd W. Tremberth B.17 Feb 1916 D.27 Nov 2000 Bedford, Middlesex, Massachusetts
he is on a family tree on Ancestry.com so you coudl perhaps contact a family member.
His is a fairly unusual name but there are very few records other than those above for him.
Can't get an officers serial numebr for him but that will be on the crash report. If you do get it can you post some details up here.
Cheers
