Jacky Moore

 

Delbert married 2nd Luana Jean Beekman of Maywood, CA Feb 14, 1944 Lynnwood, CA. They were married by William E. Pitcher, minister of the Christian Church. Her parents were Ralph Alvin Beekman and his wife Fredda Naomi Middlestetter. Luana was 20 years old and listed as a Comptometer Operator. Delbert was 31 years old and it says it is his 2nd marriage and he gives his father as Benjamin F. Moore born in Missouri and his mother as Clara Scott born in Illinois. He is a sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Delbert was assigned to a Boeing B-17 bomber in the 8th Airforce stationed in England during WWII. He was a gunner in the top turret of a B-17 during a mission somewhere over Europe when he had 3 fingers shot off. It is thought the injury was from a bullet from a ME-109 German fighter plane. This qualified him for the Purple Heart award which I (Betty Shirley), have.     

children:

E. Craig Alva Moore born Nov 24, 1945 Huntington Park, CA.
