Hello, I am looking for any relatives of Henry J. Downs who was kill an Air Corps training exersize August 24, 1943 in Montana during WWII.
Or any relatives of the O'Donnell's that are shown associated with the Downs. I believe that a Joseph O'Donnell (an uncle I think) received Mr. Downs remains when he was returned home for burial. We have found a picture of Mr. Downs but not relatives. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Downs entered the service at Patterson Field, Fairfield, Ohio in 1942. His residence state was Massachusetts, Essex County. He was born in 1914. 4 years of high school, single w/o dependents at that time. Civilian occupation was skilled mechanics and repairmen, n.e.c. .
I am helping a gentleman who lost a brother in that crash and he would like to share the information he has gathered in regards to that crash. He has also visited the actual site of where the plane crashed and found his brother's dog tag after 60 years.
Thank you again.
