Okay so so I have an interesting story for y& #39;all.

I found this US Air Corps pocket bible in an antique shop in Lewiston, NY today, and I& #39;ve been trying to figure out who it belonged to, and potentially if they have living family to return it to.

Let& #39;s do some research.
So where do we start? We have a name, a home address, and we know what branch Edwin served in.

That emblem on the front is from the Air Corps, and Oak Park is a town in Illinois.

So let& #39;s go search through some NARA records and see if we can find some data on Mr. Kitow.
I& #39;ve got like 30 tabs open at the moment so I& #39;m just gonna use this thread as a sort of archive.

Let& #39;s start with the results from our NARA / FamilySearch; searching through Draft / Enlistment records brings back nothing for Kitow so... was he not enlisted?
Searching through the NARA& #39;s AAD brings back an interesting result; a death certificate and... an internment record.
