So you know how I feel about my cousin, 2Lt A.D. (Alvis Deryl) Noble, I know that he was born on my grandfather's farm in Hopkins Co. Texas, where my father and his and 5 other brothers and 4 sisters were born, then the next information I have is the casualty report after his death as his records were lost in the St. Louis fire. I was born in 1956, 12 years after his death. But I want to thank you once again for your help with what I do know about 2Lt Noble. Sincerely A .D. ( Alan Dale ) Noble

WOW. Great job Something like that for the crew of the B2 nine Salvo Sally that bombed Masaki yes Japan on April 28, 1945. The flight engineer Fred MacDonald was my first cousin husband. The plane went in the ocean. Most likely the gunners are got out and got in parachutes, but only one survived and I found him in St. Louis Missouri Japan held a huge memorial for the crew on April 28, 2018. The survivor was Jack B Cannon. He died. I think he was 94.

Bill found the USMC records of my uncle who served as in the Pacific from 1942 through to the end of the war. Due to Covid it took some time as NARA was closed but Bill found the records and sent them along with a note. What he does is exemplary and his dedication is laudable. If you are in search of family military history I highly recommend Bill’s skills.

Hi Bill, I am trying to locate information about my father who served in the Army Air Corps, 15 AF, 454th Bombardment Group, 736 Bomb Squadron. His ID # is 12147579. I would like to know his rank and where he served. I am trying to make a paver to honor him at the WWII museum. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.
