Joel T. Watterworth writes "My dad was a pilot with the 820th,
his name was Earle Jay Watterworth, Jr.
I've been looking for info on him and his unit. I'm trying to find anyone who knew him or
flew with him".
Joel wrote later, "My dad had on his dogtag, 43-45. His nickname was
"bubba" or "Bobo". He was a Texan, and outgoing from what I hear. He
died in 1959 of a heart attack when I was 4 years old. He married a woman from Grand
