Re: 2Lt. Herbert A. Anderson ,O-687222
Alex, I think he is still missing. If the brass government marker were issued today, it would also include the phrase "In Memory of", but I don't know what the rules were in the 1940s or 1950s. I am more inclined in this case to go with the DPAA and and ABMC.
I believe the 87th FS was still flying P-40s at this time, but I have no idea on a serial number. From the history of the 79th FG:
"On the 26th, 87 Sqn. lost Lt. Anderson, who had re-
ceived a direct hit in the cockpit by an 88mm gun. Just
a handful of black puffs were evident as the for-
mation was returning to base from an uneventful
Anzio patrol. One of these hit Lt. Anderson. "
