NOTE; 717 T might be a 482nd BG PATHFINDER AIRCRAFT (H2X)…Reason I
mention it is the 100th BG received 42-97718 in MAY,45
349th BS/100TH BG XR-N…. Jack O'Leary.
Letter to Paul West from William W. Shilvey of the 95th BG states that
Robert Ball was killed in the crash of an F-84 which suffered a flame
out over Augusta, Georgia and rather than ejecting over a populated
area, Lt. Ball attempted a crash landing in a clear area and was killed.
