Comments: January 29, 2010 I would like to update Ray Leary's crew information. Only Dan Muszynski the bombardier and Gale McGrew, the Navigator are left of the crew. We were with the 493rd Bomb Squadron from 1944 to 1945 which was known as the "Azon Squadron." Gale is now 94 years and I am almost 86. Gale was an excellent Navigator and he never missed finding the target for me. He was the most intelligent person a 19 to 20 year Bombardier could have. I'll never forget him. Dan "Tiger" Muszynski

Comments: I have recently had a reprint of a book titled the Aluminum Trail, a book which compiles 696 air crashes in the CBI during WWII. It lists, unit, aircraft, dates, locations and crew members names in all these crashes as well as eyewitness accounts in some. The book was compiled by Chick Marrs Quinn in 1989 and has been out of print for years. The reprint was authorized by her family, but for only 50 copies. There is much about the 7th Bomb Group and its squadrons listing 279 crewmembers of the 7th killed in crashes. Copies are now available. Bob Willett Merritt Island, FL

His plane was shot down & missing in action for 6 months. If anyone has information on him or his unit I would appreciate it. We have no other sources of info. thanks
Comments: The last 3 living of my crew are having a reunion @ the La Quinta Innand Suites Buena Park La Palma CA on Oct 28. Anyone who can visit with us is welcome. John Lytle 9th Bomb Sqdn. 1944-45
Comments: I've been researching for many years a 7th BG/9th BS air accident (3/24/45, Ganges Delta, India) with loss of life, including 3 MIAs. The plane itself--B-24L-10-FO, 44-49607 (squadron aircraft #28)--remains missing. I still have located only one photo of this aircraft which I found at the Air Force Historical Research Agency. But the forward fuselage is cut off beyond the flight deck. No. 607 is NMF without nose art (which makes other photos of it difficult if not impossible to find online). So I'm making one last appeal to anyone who might have photos of B-24L 44-49607/sq. #28 in his collection or know the whereabouts of such a picture.
Comments: I am a pilot with the 9th Bomb Squadron flying the B-1B at Dyess AFB Texas. I am looking for anything related to the 9th Bomb Squadron, pictures, memorabilia and such that can be used to preserve the heritage of former 9th members. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Also anyone in the Abilene/Texas area who would like to come by the squadron and share stories or chat with active 9th personnel please contact me so arrangements can be made. Any small detail is important, as little as a picture with name and dates served would be helpful. Thanks Sincerely Captain David "Warren" MacVoy 9th BS david.macvoy@dyess.af.mil
Comments: To my fellow warriors and families, First, let me thank all of you for your service to our great nation. God Bless each and every one of you! My name is Major Rich Howett and I am researching my grandfather, Lt. Robert A. (Bobby) Freeman. I have a photo of him with Lt. Paul Picerni in India sometime in 1944-45, but am unable to determine more. I have been in contact with Mr. Picerni, who remembers him...of course Mr. Picerni flew as a bombardier with the 493rd, but I understand that more than just the 493rd may have flown out of the airfield at Pandaveswar. Can any of you assist me? Any information you may be able to provide me would be fantastic. Very Respectfully, Rich
