Re: Lt. Henry Peters or Dincalci P-40 USAAF
He was born Henry Albert Dincalci. His mother divorced his father and married a man named Percy Hubert Peters in the 1930s. According to the 1940 census, Henry was then Henry Albert Peters.
Henry was a liaison pilot and served in Burma. He may have also served later in the Korean War. https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1025...e-tampa-times/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1025...tampa-tribune/ Some background on the "Jungle Angels" (5th Liaison Squadron): https://www.cbi-theater.com/roundup/roundup032245.html Type of planes in a Liaison Squadron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinson_L-5_Sentinel Last edited by RSwank; 27th May 2022 at 22:25. |

Re: Lt. Henry Peters or Dincalci P-40 USAAF
Many kind thanks. Old folks memories fade a bit. He did mention p40 when visiting family in ny, during the war. Now I’m old(er) and understand why.
Thanks again for your efforts. Be well, and safe this Memorial Day weekend. |
