M.L Hixon I am grateful to you for your posting of info. on our planes last mission 4/11/44. We were shot down in Hanover area on return from our 18/19th mission by flak All of us got out via parachute with #3 ablaze & unextighishable. Later were imprisioned at Stalag #1 [Barth, Ger] with enlisted men going to other POW camps. Reunited at Camp Lucky Strike [France] & returned stateside individually via ships, after which contact between us was lost until mid 80's when retired in Ind. I learned of enlisted mens reunion in Mich. & attended to meet with them. Subsequently moved to Fla. @ lost contact once again, until this month when an aquaintance informed me of this e-mail site. Do not have any updated info. on the crews whereabouts of o ur co-pilot "Skeets Gattis [from Texas] or "Red" Sudakov {from Chicago] Now that I'm aware of this resource will definitely remain in touch.
