347th Army Air Force - Paul Edward Yeager

I have been doing some searching for some time for my fathers service history.
He passed away and now it's to late to ask what I should have asked sooner.
I found this forum and it looks like some of the people here really know how to find the history.

He had told me some stories but they don't match his DD214.
His name is Paul Edward Yeager.

Destination Australia

Now my father told me:
1, He was on board a ship headed for Hawaii on Dec. 7 1941 and the ship he was on was diverted.
2, He was in India.
3, He was burnt when a engine caught fire. ? Purple Heart

Is there any way to get more detailed information of where he was and when.
