My husband Lt. Col. Orvis L. "Lee" Cason, Jr.
was the pilot-bombardier with the crew of Pilot Thomas P. Russell and Co-pilot George W. Weston, and Navigator Joseph A. Camelio. The plane they flew over to Australia was named Swamp Angel, but had to give "her" up upon their arrival in T-ville, Australia. My husband passed away at age 88, Jan. 12, 2010. He retired from the Reserves in 1981.

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.

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.
