Re: Crash B24D 41-11842 Oct 3, 1942, 98th BG

My copy of the DPMO loss list says "MAY INDICATE CREMATION OR BURIAL AT SEA (SEE IDPF)" for Robert E Kennedy. Initially buried in El Alia Cemetery, but final disposition was "According to NOK".

Ninth crew member was Sgt Roy M Sumner, Jr, 34088691.

Only crash location I have is north of Beirut, Lebanon. The IDPF of one of the crew would probably give a more accurate location, but I don't have them (very time consuming to try to get them).

I don't know where Chris found the aircraft name. Probably in some British records I don't have, and he probably doesn't have a copy of the original, just his notes.

Enjoy!

Frank.
