The following was a newspaper account
about Mr. Paul S. Day.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lee E. Day of
Bismarck, Mo were notified yesterday by the War Department that the remains of their son,
Flying Cadet Paul S. Day, who disappeared on a training
flight more than six years ago, had been found in the Tehachapi Mountains in California.
Cadet Day, 22 years old, was making a final
flight of his training period, March 18, 1942, from an air base at Bakersfield, Calif.,
when he crashed. The wrecked plane was not
sighted until several days ago in the mountains, southeast of Bakersfield. Day was a third-year law student at the University
of Arkansas when he enlisted in St. Louis in 1941 following a visit of several months at
the home of his aunt, Mrs. A.R. Whaley, an attorney, of 1725 Lafayette Avenue."
