| Description: |
Abe Sabbatini was born on 7 September 1918 in the small town of Glen Lyon, PA, the son of Italian immigrant parents. When he was less than a year old his parents went back to Italy, and here Abe lived until 1929, when he was sixteen years old. Returning then to the USA, he stayed briefly in PA before moving to the San Francisco area, where he worked many years in the plumbing trade. In 1941 Abe was drafted into the US Army; he was assigned to the Air Corps, to the 440th Ordinance Co. In late 1941 this unit was posted to the Philippines, to an Air Corps base near Manila.
