WORLD WAR II - Thomas Frank Baker
A photo of Frank Baker from
1943.
Note the insignia of the Army Air Corps on his hat, the
propeller with wings. He likely has a first lieutenant's bar on his
collar, but the picture is so faded that even image processing
techniques can't bring out anything more than a slight bump that could
be anything from rank insignia to a flaw in the paper.
B. D. collected a letter written by an eye-witness to Baker's fate in the war. This letter apparently was widely circulated among family members, and, in the days before easy access to photocopiers, was painstakingly typed out in a typescript by B. D.
A newspaper clipping of Baker, listed killed:
Unfortunately, neither the name of this newspaper nor the date are preserved. The clipping itself, front and back, has no indication of its origin.
