Sad,

Charles "Karl" Kern came back in Belgium about 15 years ago. He visited Florennes airbase, Cerfontaine and Fosses-la-Ville (where the B-24 he brought down crashed). More stories in the forecoming book about Florennes Fliegerhorst history.

Do you have any detail about his funeral?

Best regards
