Helpful research information
1. 
Finding Your Father’s War by Jonathan Gawne. ”A Practical Guide to Researching and Understanding Service in the World War II US Army”. An appendix on the Army Air Forces.
Finding Your Father’s War by Jonathan Gawne. ”A Practical Guide to Researching and Understanding Service in the World War II US Army”. An appendix on the Army Air Forces. A website: Air Force Historical Research Agency
Also much information of the Army in general some of which transfers to the AAF.
2. From the Veterans Museum in Madison, WI. Air Force Historical Studies Office. If you do a Google search, there are several hopeful results for investigation.
3. Air Force – Together We Served website http://airforce.togetherweserved.com . Great for organizing information and creating a memorial site. Plus there are forums to ask questions and gather information.
4. Non-research books:
Our Father’s War by Tom Mathews (2005)
and
Fatherless Sons by Johnathan Diamond, PhD. (2006).
The first book is about the sons of WW2 veterans and the second is the best book I’ve ever read about dealing with the death of a father.
