A duplicate record for this airman spelt his surname 'Dory'. The source for that record was:
Drawn from the records of the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, Savannah, Georgia / Roster list in Healy's book on the 467th BG , 1947 edition

Have left as 'Dery' after searching for enlistment records for both spellings and only finding 'Dery;:
