Harry "Pops" Ackerman, 95, passed peacefully in his sleep Monday, April 13, 2015. Harry grew up in Southern California and Reno, Nev. He entered active duty Jan. 10, 1942, in World War II. He distinguished himself flying as a navigator in the 8th Air Force, 91st Bomb Group, on the B-17 and the 34th Bomb Group flying the B-24. Maj.
