319th/90 bg: Various crew photos/unidentified

[Alissakshaw]

I have several photos of my great uncle, Cpl. Louis Burgio, that served in the 319th bomb squadron, 90th bomb group. Can dig up some more if interested but also wanted to share to this group and also see if there is any additional information.

I know he succumbed to his injuries in Aug of ‘44 from what appears to be a plane crash. Based on letter I have, he was in the hospital recovering for a week or so and then seemingly passed away suddenly.

The last letter he wrote home to my grandmother was dated July 23 1944 where he hinted to hectic times and asked my grandmother to not write again until she hears from him, saying that he would explain later. Touching letters and my grandmother spoke of her beloved brother lost at war my whole life.

Here are more photos. I actually have his letter of passing which says he passed from a gasoline explosion, not explicitly stated as a plane crash. Any info would be appreciated!
