This is a United States Army Air Forces 4th Photo Squadron, 13th Air Force pilots' grouping. The grouping includes a group photo, an individual photo, a named air medal by A. E. Co., a 13th Air Force shoulder patch, three wings, a ribbon bar with an oak leaf and a single star observing the pilot's participation in five events in the Asiatic/Pacific arena, two WWII ribbon medals, two pair of first lieutenant bars and two pairs of officer collar insignia. It appears this is LT Kenny's only entitlement. From Harris County, Texas, he was killed, non-battle. There is a bit of mystery about his death: he may have been murdered.
