USAAF airman PoW on RAF bomber
Bomber Command Losses Vol.5 (1944) page 147 (Chorley):
Lancaster III - 57 Sqn - ND622 - Sgt W.E. STEEPER - USAAF - PoW Footprints on the Sands of Time - page 410: STEEPER WE USA 57 Sqn ND622 Lancaster 30/3/44 Nuremberg PoW Register (PoW Naval and Air Forces of GB and the Empire): STEEPER WEA (American) Sgt 1060195 Servicenumber 1060195 as mentioned in the PoW-Register is incomplete and may have been: 10601595 (8 figures instead of 7). STEEPER can't be found on the US Enlistment List, however the ADD Form (Access to Archival Database) gives for 10601595:T/Sgt Herbert R. STOREY (from Indiana) - enlisted as a T/Sgt 17-12-1943 into the Air Corps. Is it possible that STEEPER was an alias for STOREY ? Who has access to the Form 1180 for the bombaimer's name. Regards and thanks for your help. Henk. |

Re: USAAF airman PoW on RAF bomber
And he sailed back home to New York on the Queen Elizabeth June 29th 1945
Altough the name is listed as F/O William E Steeper 10601595 AC Leslie Ave, Utica NY This may be him: William E. Steeper, 81, of Phoenix, died Jan. 25, 2004. He was a WWII US Air Force veteran. Private family services were held. Published in the Arizona Republic on 1/28/2004. I think his name is mentioned here too: http://www.merkki.com/the_roommates.htm |
