Louis H Windsor
MilitaryI own this photograph, 2 copies.
Louis Windsor was a great man who made the lives of those he was a part of better. My cousins and I all fondly remember him as a grandfather and while I can not speak for them, he was my personal hero. Never speaking much to us (his grandchildren) about his time in the war, he lost a toe due to frostbite, and was shaken from losing his close friend and fellow crewman, Peter Scott, who died of wounds sustained in a mission to Hamburg. Additionally, his paternal cousin and childhood best friend, Donald would also join up, and lose his life in the war. Along with other relatives, Louis’s brother Jimmy also served in the Navy Band. 1st Lt. Louis Windsor’s mission career went from a mission to Heilbronn on the 10th of September, 1944 to a strike of an Airfield south of Nürnberg on the 4th of April, 1945, within this span of time he would serve in 35 missions aboard a B-24 Liberator as navigator.
330th Bombardment Squadron list for mission on the 5th of November, 1944 lists plane as #42-109867/A.
Pilot Walter F. Hughes wrote a book called, ‘A Bomber Pilot in WWII’ about their crew, and Louis Windsor’s name is listed in the back of ‘Ted’s Travelling Circus’ by Carroll (Cal) Stewart.

Revisions
Added medals Louis would have had based on the submitted image & his war career.
Just changed the medal decoration having looked at the image of his medals.
Added Air Medal to list of awards, will have to modify later to get right amounts of stars and branches.
Final person on crew I know of to add, these are evidenced in the "Crew of the Week" photograph, as well as flight notes I have, and Walter Hughes' book.
Adding names of men he served with from records, I thought I had already done this, but they didn't add before, will need to make another edit as well.
All I did was add the Find A Grave page
I have been to this site as I was at the funeral
Hughes' Book, personal information (family), and find a grave
Walter Hughes' Book & an Asterope Newspaper, dated 4 Dec 1943 with Lou on it
Mission 26-35 Locations from Flight Log & Hughes' Book
and Times added from Flight Log
Mission 16-25 Locations from Flight Log & Hughes' Book
and
https://www.b24.net/MM030345.htm
Changed plane name Pf-s-s-s-t to Pfs-s-s-t which is the correct spelling on a picture of the plane
no source or change other than in the way the previous thing I wrote tabbed weirdly, Ii may need to make another edit after this
