I, am the niece of Sgt. Joseph Wilson, 17059182 Ac, I think he was 322 Fighter Control Squad US Army Air Corp. I, Vicki (Wilson) Lybarger, and my 3 siblings and our children are his only survivors. I was wondering if any of the survivors from the disaster remember Uncle Joe and maybe what actually happened to him. It always haunted my dad. You see he and my Uncle were so very close they were not just brothers they buddies. They tried to enlist together, but they wouldn’t take dad. He was older etc. Flat footed. Somehow I think he thought he could have taken care of his little brother. But instead he took care of their mom. He always mourned his brother who never came home. My brother, Charles Wilson, was in the Air Force during 1960’s. He later got a stone from the Air Force for my Uncle to place near his mother and father. That eased some pain for my Pop. This is when we first learned that there was a grave for him in the African Memorial Cemetery. I currently have all of Uncle Joes medals in a frame with his picture, along with the picture of the cemetery. My brother Charles did have them, but recently passed them to me, because they moved to an apartment too small for everything. We all wish we could known Uncle Joe. The way Pop and his brother, Roy, use to describe him, tells us that WWII really did take the best of our American boys. Please, let me know if there are any survivors who remember my Uncle, Sgt. Joseph Wilson, 17059182. Thank you
