WOW!!!
I do appreciate all of the help. I have been looking for over a year for information and I think have found more contacts and directions to look towards from you than any one person since I have been looking. I have found many individuals like yourself that have been so helpful.
I have been to your friends site and the 973rd Engineer Maintenance Company has a little more infromation out their than 472nd but I have come up dry. I am trying to find what the units overall attachment was. I found out the 973rd was part of the 9th AAF but I have been looking for any connection for the 472nd. My great uncle's discharge papers stated that he participated in Guadalcanal and the only AAF unit that I can find that has a listing of being in that area was the 13th AAF.
Again thank you for all the infromation. I will try to try my best with these contacts you reccomended.
