William Flavius Hall was born on April 3, 1923. He served in the 378th Fighter Squadron, 362nd Fighter Group as a Second Lieutenant during World War II. On February 10, 1944, the group flew an escort for bombers as far as the Zuiderzee north of the Netherlands. Just after leaving the bombers, the Thunderbolt of Lt. Daniel Sipe suffered a balky engine and pulled away from the rest of Blue Flight of the 378th, composed of Lts. Vernon Boehle, William E Hall, and Marion Morphew. Almost immediately, the flight was jumped by two or three Bf 109s. "There was a cry of 'break,'"— said Morphew. "All three of us made a tight spin and went down." The under-strength flight was scattered, and Hall was shot down over the Dutch town of Vaassen by Obit. Ernst-Heinz Lohr of 111/3G.1 and killed. 2LT Hall is now buried in the Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California, USA.
