Re: U.S. Iranian Mission - crash 1942/3 - General Motors technicians
One of the GM reps was Roland L Spencer.
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/42144645/newspress/ Ancestry gives his date of death as February 28, 1942 in Iran. A description of the crash scene: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive...89025422/facts The plane left Basra on February 28 and crashed near Darud around noon the same day. Some other references apparently in the IDPF file for Gillies: https://wwiiresearchandwritingcenter...s-in-the-idpf/ Other GM rep was Gustave A Goesele. https://www.newspapers.com/clip/4215..._suntelegraph/ Remains were not recovered for either man. Plane was a Russian DC-3. https://www.ancestry.com/interactive...0_171348-00562 Last edited by RSwank; 12th January 2020 at 17:55.
