Again his B-24 was shot down over Girgui Romania on July 7, 1944 and my uncle and one other crew member were the only survivors and both were taken prisoner.

I have on this person is his first name, Ernie, he was a member of the Royal Air Force and he was a prisoner in Bucharest, Romania in the summer of 1944. I would like to do a search to see if I might be able to find this person to see what he ended up doing after the war. If he's no longer with us I would like to find his children, if he had any, and talk to them to learn a little bit about this person. My Uncle Bill is still alive and if Ernie is still living I would love to try and set up a reunion for them. Any suggestions on how to go about this search would be greatly appreciated.
