Young, Jr. in uniform
Herbert V. Young, Jr. was born June 8, 1920 in Clarkdale, AZ played football at Clarkdale High School and later at Arizona State University. Had one daughter, Diana, now Diana Long of El Cerrito, CA who he never saw, since she was born after he shipped out. Assigned to the South West Pacific Area (SWPA) on August 15 1943, he was normally a pilot but he was assigned to fly as co-pilot aboard B-24D "Hot Garters" 42-41188 because his plane was not flyable and they were short a pilot. He had flown 43 combat missions totaling approximately 300 hours prior to his loss, and earned the Air Medal and Purple Heart, posthumously
