15 men in a B25?...
Just been reading a poem about an aircraft that went missing whilst flying The Hump.
It was written by the mother of SSgt. Joseph W. Dunaway, who died with 14 other men when B-25G #41-30010 disappeared on the Hump route on 04 July 1945. I am amazed that a B25 could carry so many.... |

Re: 15 men in a B25?...
The MACR is here:
https://catalog.archives.gov/id/91157437 SSgt Dunaway memorial: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...ilburn-dunaway One confusing thing in the above writeup is the supposed reported last position given by radio "The last position reported was 27/32 N. 95 degrees 16 minutes E, Nine miles south of the Brahmaputra River." That is actually the location of their destination airfield, Dinjan, India. I suspect the B-25 was a squadron Hack/Utility ship. The unit, 427th NFS, flew P-61s. The poem can be read here: https://www.miarecoveries.org/pdf/Wh...y-boy-Poem.pdf It is also on his mother's find-a-grave page here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...arl-e_-dunaway Last edited by RSwank; 15th October 2020 at 00:44. |
