Walter was declared MIA by the Air Force in the Korean War. He was flying an airplane when he was declared MIA on March 9th, 1951. He was inventive, smart and funny and missed by all his family. He did not have a middle name. H was all that was given to him for that according to his sister Lucy. He was missed very much when it was declared he was MIA and his family never stopped looking for him.

Update on 7.22.22
"Sergeant Payton had first served during World War II where he was the tail gunner of a B-29 Superfortress bomber with the US Air Force. On March 9, 1951, he was on a training mission flying out of Lakenheath Air Base, England when contact with the aircraft was lost. It apparently crashed in the Mediterranean Sea southeast of Spain. All 12 crew members died."
