Re: Another 97th BG question
Hello Vathra,
Yes MACR 3581 was the 3rd April 1944 reported loss.
Crews names were: Daniels, Anthony, Hamilton, Tiller, Johnson, Thorp, Bernius, Davis, Flanagan and Reilly.
MACR 2069 was an earlier report for the 6th December 1943.
This was Mission 202 to Kalanaki A/D, Athens, Greece.
2Lt. William J. Brown, O-673038 and S/Sgt. Frederick H. Herreilers, 12141321, bailed out over the sea due to a fire on board. Herreilers was recorded as KIA, Brown eventually returned.
I have no idea if the name " Little Red Head" was worn by her in the early years or was a later addition ?
