Manni,

I just received a letter from a niece of the co-pilot, John E. Lidicker. My letter to her back in January 2020 “got misplaced and then with Covid, things got crazy”. She did not hear a lot about the crash but she knew Lidicker had crashed at Cologne. I will quote from her letter:


“Over my life I did not hear a lot about the crash. I do know, my uncle, John E Lidicker was burned and did have a broken back.

The German people put him into a wheelbarrow and delivered him to the American Soldiers.

I was told he spent a year in a body cast. He suffered from back pain the rest of his life.”
