238260 Kenneth Thomas Orton Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 146 Squadron (d.2nd Oct 1944) My father, Thomas Leone, was an instructor pilot during the years 1941-1942 at Darr Aerotech in Albany Georgia under the "Arnold Scheme". He instructed a pilot by the name of Ken T. Orton Class 42K who had an address of "22 St. Stephens Gardens, East Twickenham, Middlesex". Graduating July 1942, Mr Orton left my father a photo of himself with this aforementioned information on it. I learned from the Arnold Scheme organization, Nicola Bate, that Mr Orton was flying with Sqdn 146 in Burma Flying P-47s. He was killed in action on 2nd October 1944.
I would love to send this photo to any surviving family if they want it. Can anyone help?
