This is a very nice Bronze Star awarded to a James C Burke Jr. I have tried to get his records but didn't get much unfortunately.He was from Norfolk, Massachusetts.

 

I found a payroll from the 512th Single Engine Flying Training Squadron mentioning him. Dated April 14, 1944. Anyone has any additional info about this squadron?

This Bronze Star was awarded to Raymond N. Hart. I havent done any research on it yet but can only find one match.

 

Raymond N. Hart - 33426952

Born in 1906. From Alaska.

 

I really like the engraving on it!
