[303rd-Talk] Cindy McCain's father - James H. Hensley, Jr.

[Gary Moncur]

According to this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Hensley
James Willis Hensley was a bombardier shot down in Feb 1943.
There is no James W. Hensley listed in the Mighthy Eighth Roll of 
Honor.  The 303rd had two James Hensley's both shot down and both 
evadee/escapees and both enlisted men and both shot down in 1944.

I am confused.
