Biography

Sgt Houghton was killed in action during WWII in the European Area. He was with the 8th Air Force,532nd Bombardment Squadron, 381st Bombardment Group. He received the Purple Heart and Air Medal. He was the son of Herbert S Houghton Sr and Eliza Hodgdon Houghton.

Sgt. Herbert S. Houghton Jr., U.S.A.A.F. #11136335
Thanks to the diaries of 1st Lt. William E. Kornermann and that of 1st. Lt.G.T. Kelley of the 532nd Bomb Sq. of the 381st Bomb Group (H) we were able to learn what occurred
March 9,1945.
The target for that day was the locomotive repair shops and the rail yards located in the city of Kassel, Germany. Aircraft #43-39012, named “Miss Fortune” by the pilot was
crewed by 2nd Lt. Paul J. Scherman, 2nd Lt. Earl B. Nelson,F/O Nicholas J. Drohan, 2nd Lt.Manny M. Miska, and Sargents Richard Mc Clain, George Gasparovich, Garland Monzingo,Herbert Houghton Jr. and Hugh D. Fitzgerald.
The aircraft was hit over the target at an altitude of 25,000 feet. The hit was between the#3 engine and the bomb bay, and almost immediately the whole right side of the plane was engulfed in flames. It was also reported that the nose was either off or badly damaged. It glided down to about 15,000 feet where two chutes were seen shortly before the plane exploded. Later it was said that the aircraft had a load of incendiary bombs, which undoubtedly created the massive amount of flames. The crew was listed as missing in action at that time, but later it was learned that Sgt.
Fitzgerald and Sgt. Gasparovich were the two who had managed to bail out. They spent the rest of the
War in a prisoner of war camp. The documents did not say if they had been injured. All the rest of the crew perished in the explosion.

Herbert's Father ordered a military stone in Mar 1949 and had it placed in Westwood Cemetery.

I know my great grandfather came through Ellis Island via Ireland. My great grandparents spoke Gaelic.

I have heard that our family sir name may not really be spelled "Houghton".
Some people in our family have heard a story that it's really a variation of Houghton. They believe that Houghton was how the administrator at Elise Island spelled it.
I have been on the west coast all my life and knew very few of my dad's relatives since they are mostly all in the Pennsylvania/Michigan area.
