Flew 67 missions as an aerial gunner on A-20 and A-26 aircraft with the 416th Bomb Group - 669th Bomb Squadron - 9th Air Force.
Heath's gravestone has his date of birth as 18 Sept 1924. EVERYTHING else (draft registration card, North Carolina birth index, SSI death file, etc...) has his date of birth as 24 Sept 1918. It would seem whomever ordered the gravestone transposed the numbers "18" and "24." His draft registration was in October 1940. He wouldn't have needed to register then if he were born in 1924 as he only would have just turned 16. In addition, he shows up in the 1920 census
