He was Killed november 1 1943 on B-24D1 that crashed after takeoff. I am trying to gather information for my grandfather so he can have some closure over the death of his brother. If anyone knows any information about this, please email me.

I've been searching for information on the invasion of Aitape, Papua, New Guinea. My granfather was part of that invasion. He was a seabee with the 25th special construction battalion.

I have his photo album from WWII with many unique combat photos

My uncle, Judd Newton(Buddy)Wommack, Technical Sergeant, went MIA Feb 23 1945.
All of his crew members are now deceased. I was fortunate enough to get to know one of the crew members several years ago before he passed away.

I enjoy the site. Thanks for keeping the history alive.

Keep up the good work and others may know the sense of peace once the book of families is ended......

My Uncle Sgt. George R. Aggott was a member of 43 AAF Bomb Group and shot down and KIA on 4/28/45. The only other thing marked on his grave stone at Arlington says AR United States Army.
I understand that he is buried in the same spot where his other crew mates are.

I wanted to know if there was anyone who knew him or his crew members. I also just wanted to say God Bless all our soldiers.

I am 1st of 5 boys for Lt. James E. Shropshire, Jr. 81st Air Depot Group transport pilot, dec'd 1968. 81st was sent forward to New Guinea about April, 1944 just as he arrived.
Later he was assigned to Darwin, and eventually did test pilot chores, "pranging" as Peter Dunn says, wheels-up in a P-39 on the beach (probably Casuarina) at Darwin. There's no record, however, so far. Any advice or other helpful observations? Transport is not so popular in the forums, but we are as proud as if he were an ACE.
