Son of Robert Lee Thompson and Pearl Louise
Owen Thompson
His
military registration card
(Willys Motors made the military Jeeps
during the war!)
Lot's of young men and women moved to
California
at this time to work in the huge number of
factories there for the war.

His Sherman High School Photo (He was 16)
I have looked
everywhere for more articles, there
are many Robert
J Thompson' and Jack
Thompson' in the
state and service during that time
and I found numerous ones who flew
overseas in both theaters of war.
None had any connection that I could
prove. Unfortunately he didn't have
an ordered military tombstone or it
might have told of his unit.
He would not have
been an instructor without having
fought and flown for a while. He
enlisted in 1941 and it was 1944
when his crash was. If you know
where he served overseas please let
me know.
