Re: MACR 14575 B-25C 42-53456
Zerega: O-662421 according to the letter for his Silver Star:
http://www.zerega-genealogy.com/docu...DALOFVALOR.pdf More about him (and picture, and even the story of the loss of 42-53456 in a comic strip!!!): http://www.zerega-genealogy.com/getp...D=I140&tree=01 Start of my search was a line in the 340th BG saying that all survivors of the aircraft should be allowed Silver Stars. From available list at http://www.homeofheroes.com/members/...e/0_index.html, both officers (Marcan and Zerega) did, but T/Sgt Gordon W Warren is not in the list I found. |
