You have a photo of my granddads crew T/Stg. Bill W Proudfoot. I really don't have photos but I do have a copy of orders with the names of 5 other 24j crews on It 9 July 1944. I would be willing to share with you!

My grandfather Sgt George E Merz died in 1971 before I was born. All I have of his service record are two small clips from our local newspaper, undated. One stated that he was a member of the 43rd bomber group and had served in New Guinea, Australia and the Philippine Islands, The other indicates that he received the air medal for meritorious achievement in aerial combat against the Japanese. This is about all I know about him, anyone that may remember anything or be able to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for anyone who knew N. Sabetta, he was a mechanic / crew chief with the 43rd. I am looking if anyone knows what plane he might have crewed.

Hello,
My grandfather was Charles A. (Rocky) Stone. I believe he was a navigator on B-17's. I would like to find out if anyone remembers the names of the plane(s) he was a crewmember of. If I remember correctly, a B-17 he was on was shot down by Zero's somewhere over Borneo. I would love to find out more about that too. Thank you all for serving our country!
Regards,
Michael Muguruza
