Comments: Great job on the web site and database, I am sure there are many friends and relatives who appreciate your hard work. My uncle, Henry J. Kauffman was a waist gunner on a B-24D tail number 42-41075. His aircraft was crashed in the Kunimaipa Valley, Papua, New Guinea on November 22, 1943 with all 9 crew KIA. I would appreciate any information regarding the exact location of the crash site and the recovery of human remains.
Thank You and Keep up the Good Work Dr. Steve Feimer

Comments: Looking for crew members who flew the "Michigan" or a color photo of the nose art that was done by Sarkis Bartigian. I live a mile from Michigan stadium and each year the Yankee Air Museum presents an award called the "Liberator Award" to a student in the AFROTC program at UM. Would enjoy corresponding with anyone who's interested in the "Michigan's" history.

Comments: Great site. One comment. In the article Penetrating the Philippines Capt. Alvin Mueller is incorrectly identified as having been a member of the 7th Bomb Group. He was actually with the 19th BG in the PI and was awarded the DSC for a mission in December, 1941.
