I learned of Lt. Linton Hamilton in a round-about way. I have extensive work at Find-A-Grave and a personal connection to the TWA DC-3 plane crash in Nevada that carried Carole Lombard Gable, wife of Clark Gable. Twenty-two lost their lives on January 16, 1942. Sixteen of those who died were Army Air Corps, including my father-in-law's best friend, Lt. Frederick Dittman. Also aboard was Lois Hamilton, wife of Lt. Hamilton. Just a year later he also died in a plane crash. If I could give you a link, you could see that I have a Virtual Cemetery for all that were aboard with Lt. Hamilton and there is a memorial page for each man. This message board in not allowing me to copy & paste the link. Are you familar with Find-A-Grave? You can view pages without being a member, and there is no charge to become a member, if you wish. If you go there and do a search for Linton D. Hamilton, it should bring you to his page. You can then click on the link to his wife and read some info. and also view a picture of her. Please let me know if you are successful. If not, we can try something else.
