    Description

    This is a great value for this grouping.

    About
    Lt. Harold O. Simms:
    Lt. Harold O. Simms was one of the youngest Bombardiers in WWII and he was flying missions over Germany at age 21 - 22 years of age.
    I know that Lt. Simms was awarded the
    Air Medal during WWII and other awards.
    He survived 30 combat missions then came back to the US and became a bombing instructor and
    pilot for the US Air Force. This would be a great pilot to research.
