Ray served as a Second Lieutenant on B-24 #41-24021, 67th Bomber Squadron, 44th Bomber Group, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
He resided in Bartow County, Georgia prior to the war.
Ray died in the "Line Of Duty" when his B-24 crashed, for unknown reasons, in the Atlas Mountains, French Morocco during the war.
The reason the below crew is smaller than what is normally on a B-24 is due to the fact that they were actually transporting other Airmen to North Africa. They had dropped them off and were returning to base when this crash happened.
