Thank you David, yes I already have that one ( I once spent a very strange hour comparing that photo to one of his brother to see if I could spot a family resemblance! - couldn't see it but the provenance of both photos was just tickettyboo!).
I actually have most of James' life documented, the only thing I am missing is an official death cert. There may not be one, but that is what I am trying to find out as I have no idea of the US process for death registration of military personnel who died overseas.

Why don't you  try to find  a US Veterans Agency  web site based in The US.

Or alternatively  search for a United States ex-services  web Forum

Wonder if this is any good?

The Visiting Forces Act 1952     may contain  some  clauses or sections which relate  to your question.

Thank you! I'll do that :-)
That is what I was looking for (and failed to find) though its Army not USAF they may well be able to point me in the right direction :-)

That was after he died though.

Good luck. There must be a certificate somewhere, just a matter of finding it! Do let us know if you have any success.

If I remember correctly,  It was the USAAF   during WW2.    IE    US Army Air Force
