AO 780912 The number on his plane was FA 409. He is buried in Arlington Cemetary. My father was killed in Korea on July 8,1953. His name was Jack A.Knight and he was a pilot in the Air Force. His service number is AO 671 563. This is all I know other than the fact I cannot find any information out about him. I have a letter dated June 10,1958 from the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Records Center in St. Louis Missouri. The letter is the official statement of the military service and death record. It is signed by a A.J.Petroski. It states that he died on july 8,1953 in Korea, as the result of an aircraft accident. Death occurred in the line of duty an was not a result of his own misconduct. " I am very curious as to why I can't find him listed anywhere and why my mother was in possession of this letter dated 5 yrs. after his death......can anyone feed me any information that may be helpful?
