I am including two photos. One of Joseph "Rolly" Kingston, and the other the only shot I have of him with his crew and plane.

rolly


Here is some of the info I have on my grandfather

Date of entry into active service Jan. 23 1943.
Trained as a bombardier.
Became an instructor for bomardiers in B-24s and B-29 aircraft at Chattam Field in Georgia.
Flew on missions in the ETO from Sept. 15, 1943- March 29,1944 ( I have the certificate that shows his 25 missions before returning to the states.)

crew

He continued to serve in the Air Force and Air Force Reserves until his death in 1955. He and his crew were returning from a training flight in a B-47 when his plane crashed and killed all 3 on board.

Thank you in advance for all the hard work you do to keep this great site on the web.

Joeseph R. Kingston Jr.(grandson)
