My father was a member of the elite 5307th. He fought in every campaign they did, so why is it impossible to obtain any records for him? I have a photo of him shortly after the fight at Walabum, yet the Air Force says he was never there. The NPRC says that he did fight in Burma and was wounded May17,1944, at Myitkyina, yet there are no records pertaining to his wounding, nor for scrub typhus, malaria, or yellow fever. Does anybody know if records were in fact burned, as I have read, during my search. I can be contacted @ davidf_49@yahoo.com, thanks!!
