350th Sqdn... Crew, as above,
joined the 100th Group on 28/11/43.After 13 missions this crew was
transferred to the 482nd as a Pathfinder crew. They continued at Alconbury
until 29 May 45 when all came back to the states together. Griffis was
shot down over lowlands of Holland and escaped the Germans through the
help of patriots who hid him in a room above an inn until liberated by the
Allies. He returned to Thorpe Abbotts for a short time before being
returned to the States as was the practice for evadees or escaping airmen. |
