My uncle, Cpl. Thomas F. Ward of the 400th was on a B-24 that went missing on 6 June 1945 after departing thd Luzon Area of P.I. I belive there were 24 members of the 90th on this aircraft. They were MIA until February 1946 and then upgraded. A/C was never located. Looking for any information on Cpl. Thomas F. Ward.
Thank you
