From my records, he was assigned to the 5th Bomb Group and 72nd Bomb Squadron. He was apparently also a pilot cadet at Douglas, Georgia prior to being reassigned to be a navigator.

My father was part of the 1154th Navigation Training Class. I believe I possibly have a class picture of this group. Would the site be interested in this?
