| Lofton Henderson Looking for biographical information concerning WWII USMC pilot Major Lofton Henderson. Henderson Field, Guadacanal, was named for him. Apparently he was killed in the Battle of Midway. Have heard in the past that he (or was it his wife?) was from Gary, Indiana. Found the wiki post but it is not detailed enough. Can someone provide a link or suggest a book or publication? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. TonyM.
