Help Needed To research WW2 Air Medal

[ailcol]

Hi Everyone,

Awhile ago I picked up this group thinking it would make an interesting research project. I am normally a WW1 collector and I don';t have the resources to research this air medal as much as I thought I would. I am hoping someone on the forum can steer me in the right direction.

The medal is not named but only has the date January 8,1945 on the back. It came with a photo that looks like he might be a major in the 8th. It came with the ribbon bar shown as well as a small name plaque William Sexton Lewis USAAF.

I managed to find an obituary to a William Lewis he served as an officer in the air corp in WW2 and then later in the USAF and I did find one small mention of a William Sexton Lewis who joined as an American volunteer in the RCAF.

I would really appreciate any guidance as to the best place to look to try and figure out the history on this group.

Thanks,

Adam
