I have a few of the 14th AAF books. They are loaned out, but I should have them back tomorrow. I'll let you know if I find anything about him.

Hi Tex, Hi Jim
 
I have little informations about his operational duty from the books "Sharks over China"
and "Into the teeth of the tiger" but unfortunately I don't have any photo from him!
Thanks for the quick response!

Apparently a bridge in Lowell, MA named after him and his (also KIA) brother John now. Perhaps they have more info on him there?
Only other reference seems to be involvement in mid-air collision on 11 March 1943 over Alabama in a AT-6 training aircraft (41-33006).
