US Airman KIA
A small, obviously old B&W photo in a recent issue of the Baltimore Sun newspaper (what’s left of it) caught my eye. A studio shot, it showed the face a young WW2 American airman; he was wearing a flight helmet and goggles. The photo appeared in the In Memorandum section of the obituaries. The caption read in part: “Lt. Charles F. Bacigalupa, August 8, 1944, 21 years, 3 months, 1 day, in defense of your country in the sky over Lonlay, France. Does this information connect with an aircraft combat event? Details appreciated.
