He was a tail gunner on a B-17 and flew 90 missions in the 9th Air Force unit, His name was George A. Yount. I know a few of his stories from my dad but my grandfather died long before I was born and I’d like to learn more about him and his time in the service, is there any resources that I could use to find information?
Give a call to the personnel department at USAF HQ. They should be able to dig up some info as far as awards/units are concerned.
