Description
Ray N. “Buddy” Jury, Jr
According to his Obituary,
Born October 9, 1922 in Lancaster, PA, he was the son of the late Ray N. and Molly (Eager) Jury. He was the husband of Arlene J. (Frank) Jury to whom he was married to for 61 years.
Mr. Jury was a Veteran of the United States Air Force, serving during World War II on a B29 Bomber as a radar operator in the South Pacific. He worked for 37 years as a machinist model dye maker for the Department of Defense. He enjoyed his hobby of model railroading.
The grouping has all his combat flight logs and his blind flying instrument. As well as his Purple Heart and his Air Medal boxed.
He fought in the Pacific and would bomb Japan taking unique photos from the Radar when explosions took place, I was unable to find anything quite like this anywhere else on the market.
Jury was not only a Radar Operator but would man the 50cal as an air dunner also.
His Wings are Sterling Silver, his Purple Heart is not named but it has his period print out with him listed. It seems he was awarded it for a crash on take off on a combat mission.
