In our local paper (the Southwest Time Record, Fort Smith, Arkansas) was a request for information about an event that occurred April 9, 1944. A B-17 of the 614th Squadron, 401st Bomb Group, was shot down in a raid over Marienberg, Germany. (Aircraft No. 42-38162) One of the survivors, Ray A. Gentry, of Todd, North Carolina, is trying to locate any surviving members of the crew. Gentry's granddaghter, Judy Howard, is leading the search for survivors and other family members. As I am a member of the 91st Bomb Group and familiar with the web site, I am passing this on to the people who should know, if anyone has that information. They are asking anyone to write to: Judy Howard, 61 Jupiter Road, Weaverville, North Carolina 28787.
