Re: Captain Edward E. Hunt KIA Nov. 8, 1944

Hi Renee'

I found Reynolds on the Mission Schedule for 9 Aug 44, filed by 353FS Adjutant, 1LT Carl Bickel. Yes, these are the two missions when 353FS CO Maj. Don Beerbower was shot down and KIA, and 353FS OPSO and acting CO Wallace (Bud/Wally) Emmer was shot down and MIA/POW/DNB.

On both missions Reynolds was flying FT-S, that is the squadron identifier for your father's aircraft. Your dad was on leave stateside, visiting your mother and making it possible for you to join us!

Best,
Tripp
