There also might be someone in that newsletter who knows more. I have also had much success in finding information from the helpful folks at the Army Air Force forum. That web address is http://forum.armyairforces.com. If you need help figuring out where to post your questions, let me know. Send me an email directly at pdig@libertyladybook.com. Good luck!

Legibility varies. For some of the missions I have Intelligence Narratives, summaries of all the reports. So sorry to read about your Dad. So good that you were able to go to the crash site. Best of luck with your research. I have made contact with 2 crew members and 2 crew families. The others have all passed away, and I have been unable to find families. I need help finding resources for this part of the search. You've inspired me to work harder to locate them.

Diving into research of his missions. "Interrogation Reports" intrigue me - were those hand written by the crew after each mission, written by the navigator, written by the interviewing officer... ? The website shown is NOT mine. It was built and is maintained by the son of a 303rd Bomb Group pilot. The link is to my father's crew. Best wishes for your project. Share it with your family and with the families of his crew mates. I have found, during my research, that much if this is just not pulled together on a "crew" basis. Your work will be welcomed by the other crew families. Son of a WWII B-17 navigator.
