Hammer Jr\, KIA\, POW/MIA \nUSAFR  – WWII\nCarbondale\, Illinois – 20 Mar 2017\n \n\n\nABOUT THE MISSION:\nIn mid-1941\, Hammer\, formerly in the U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve\, was recruited among a small group of American pilots battling Japanese forces invading China. He was employed with the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company (CAMCO)\, which was officially termed the “American Volunteer Group\,” (AVG) and popularly known as the “Flying Tigers.” The AVG consisted of three fighter squadrons\, each with approximately 30 Curtiss P-40 single-seat aircraft. In September 1941\, Hammer was training with other AVG pilots at Kyedaw Airfield\, a British Royal Air Force airfield outside of Toungoo\, Burma. Though most of the recruits were experienced pilots\, none had seen combat. To prepare them\, the AVG instituted an aggressive training program\, encouraging their pilots to carry out mock battles. Hammer was killed during a training flight on Sept. 22\, 1941\, when he encountered severe weather and his plane crashed. Hammer was reportedly buried in the Airmen’s Cemetery at St. Luke’s Anglican Church in Toungoo. \nIn late December 1947\, an American Graves Registration Service team recovered the remains of three members of the AVG. The remains were declared unidentifiable and were temporarily interred in the U.S. Military Cemetery at Barrackpore\, India in January\, 1948. The remains were eventually moved to Hawaii in an attempt to identify them\, designated as X-633\, X-634 and X-635\, but identification was unsuccessful. They were reinterred at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu\, as World War II Unknowns.\n\nPRIMARY STAGING DETAILS:  20 Mar 2017\n\nPrimary Staging Time:  2:00 P.M.\nWalker Funeral Home \n112 S Poplar St\nCarbondale\, Illinois –\n  \n\nRide Captain:\nLarry Hamilton – 618-534-2893 \nGary “Taco” Cook\n\nSpecial Instructions:\nWe will honor LT.
