From Find-A-Grave.
Kenneth Wayne Sprankle was 17 years old when his family moved to West Virginia. He never married or had children.
He was killed when his plane stalled coming out of a slow roll and spun into a cliff.
The inscription of his grave in the Punch Bowl reads: "Kenneth W. Sprankle, Pennsylvania. 1st Lt. 6 AAF Pursuit Sq. World War II.
April 26, 1915- Jan. 24, 1942."
He is buried at the National memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii. Plot M289.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
