Hello!
i am searching for the service history of Victor Harald Lundberg, a swede just like me who emigrated to USA 1924 and enlisted in 1942. (in some documents from the army they have him listed as Viktor Harold Lundberg, and later in his life he changed to Wiktor Harald Lundberg).
He was born i the town of Lund 27th of September 1902.
I know he was in the airforce, because of the blue lining on his service cap, a air force patch and a technicians patch on one of the sleeves.
In one of the pockets i found an 3rd air force patch so that might be a clue?
Here is the info i have:

Sometime after the war he once again returned to Sweden and is now burried in Lund.
I was given his jacket a couple of years ago and are now researching his history, and would especially like to know what outfit he belonged to.
Thankfull for any help.
