My grandfather was a pilot in the 401st during WWII. He trained in Tampa Bay, Florida, and was based in Deethorpe. His plane was either the "Lady Luck," the, "Lady Luck II," or the, "Lady Luck III." He once had to ditch in the English Channel after a raid over Germany, and he was shot down over France once. He passed away of a heart attack over thirty years ago, and I never had the chance to meet him, but I am sure some of his former squadron members may remember him. I am not sure which squadron he was in. If anyone remembers Irving, or anyone knows who to contact to find records, pictures, or possibly stories about him, I would appreciated if they could write me back, or forward this message to the proper contacts. I thank the association in advance for sharing memories of my grandfather,
