Re: Ernest oliver mcgehee usaaf kia 19/10/1942
Russ,
Did some further googling and found this info in the online book "Old Pilots Never Die: They Just Fly Away" by R. William Reisert.
In it he writes with date April 28, 1942 that he (also) met First Officer McGehee "a blue eyed fellow who was later killed in the Liverpool balloons while flying a Hurricane on a weather check. At the time he had been in the USAAF Transport Command as a First Lt. but a month. Too bad he didn't check with Maps & Signals for the balloons and which he learned about it in ATA"
Not sure yet, but the Hurricane may have belonged to VIII Air Force Support Command.
Regards,
Leendert
