HEIBRON, MY (S. T. ) |
351st Sqdn. Crew, as above, joined the 100th Group on 2/8/44.
It is probable that to reduce to a nine man crew Sgt. Cable was
shifted to another crew.
S/Sgt Herman F. Eckmeyer from the Jack Gay crew flew with the
Wallace G. Wilson crew on the 31 Dec 44 Hamburg mission, replacing
Lt. Brewin.
According to a letter from Norm Graham, navigator of the
P. B. Batterman crew, Batterman broke an arm after joining the 100th on
5/10/44 and Jim Knowles was assigned as pilot of the Batterman crew.
Knowles and most of the Batterman stayed together until completion
of their tour. " (I believe this is wrong, after the Dec 31st 1944 mission to
Hamburg, the Batterman Crew with Knowles as pilot was broken up,
with members going to Lt Hutchinson's Lead Crew and Lt Garrison's
Crew. I have only two records of Lt Knowles flying as 1st pilot
after Dec 31, 1944, one on March 17, 1945 to Plauen and one the
following day March 18, 1945 flying 503 LN-A, an a/c from the 350th
BS to Berlin. My best guess for this big lapse of time is that
Knowles may have gone back to Lt Gay Crew as CP from Jan 5-March 4,
1945 or been ill? Only loading lists for Lt. Gay Crew in Jan/Feb 45
can answer that question, , , , mpf 2006)
