Now its getting even more surreal.
Both born 1924 in Wisconsin. Could it be the same guy? Could a PFC in the Pacific be commissioned as a bombardier Lt in Europe and then rise post war to Lt Col?
Two different serial numbers 16089455 and O-715095
Do USA serial numbers change on commission?
And most importantly - no death record. So if there are two, he either died overseas, or is still alive. So again, he's not our man - based on the story
And if he really did follow that route from PFC to Lt, then there really is no time for UK service
