I picked this one up the other day when I checked the seller who I my CPHM1/c tag and I seen he had another tag with the same last name. His find-a-grave says he was a pilot during WW2 but I can't seem to find anything other than that. Any help would be great.

If you think he's the guy on find a grave, here's a guy that was in the (Reserve Corp) Air Corp as a Private in 1942 and from AR. As far as the serial number on your dog tag, ???

Delmar and his brother were both from Conway, Arkansas and were both laid to rest at the Republican cemetery in Greenbrier. The seller said both tags were purchased from a local estate in Conway. The only problem I have is John the brother doesn't appear in the obituary of Delmar. Maybe the seller assumed they were brothers and maybe they were cousins.

After looking at the file that very well could be him as a enlisted man and the tag I got is his commissioned officer tag,

I was lucky to get another tag but had the misfortune of missing his bombardier school year book (Bombs Away 4-44 from Midland Texas) I did however get the seller to photograph the book for me.

I picked up the book on ebay. It will be getting fully scanned and will eventually be posted on the aafcollection website with my other bombardier class books.

The pictures I got are mainly of the parts of the book with signatures. But it would be greatly appreciated if I could get a full scan to keep with the tags to keep the history with them.
