Re: B-17 41-2507, March 1942

This is a 1944 story on the pilot, Godman. It gives the crash date as March 12.

None of the three officers were POWs and all survived the war.

The two enlisted men were POWs and they also survived the war.

Wallie "Bud" James Hewston Jr was a POW: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...-james-hewston

Henry Benedict Pecher (note spelling of last name) was also a POW: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...enedict-pecher
