He reenlisted in the Air Force when he turned 18 and served 22 years. He passed away January 24, 1998 and was buried near where he and my mother retired at Barrancas at Pensacola Naval Base.

Unfortunately Dad passed away in 1998 at the age of 70. You probably had a hard time finding information because it is spelled DeSailles and he legally changed his name to Allen DeSailles Glover. Would love to exchange information. llynch@twcny.rr.com

No, I haven’t found out more about him, but I plan to keep looking. If anyone does learn more, please contact me. I want to write about him for Widener Magazine.

I was looking for info on him when I came across this post.

I became interested in him when I saw his picture in “The Mighty Eighth” by Roger Freeman.

Always have wondered what happened to him.

Thanks!

I do not have any more info than that, but I would like to know what happened to him during the Korean War and later in life. He did not complete a combat tour in WWII, rather he divulged his true age after six missions and was sent home.
Thanks!
