Did you know?

On December 29, 1949, Captain Rogers Hornsby Jr was killed in a plane crash near Savanah, Georgia during a training mission. He was the navigator in the B-50 airplane.

He had flown nearly 50 missions abroad during WW 2.

Hornsby was just 29-years-old.

I am unsure of his military rank as the attached news article states he was a Lieutenant, but his headstone says he was a Captain.
