Henry served as a Staff Sergeant on B-24 (#41-24021), 67th Bomber Squadron, 44th Bomber Group, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
He resided in Pennsylvania prior to the war.
He enlisted in the Army Air Corps on October 1, 1941, prior to the war, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was noted, at the time of his enlistment, as being employed in the processing of dairy products and also as Single, without dependents.
Henry 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.
