Re: R.M.Fowler and crew.
<table> <tr class="GridRow"> <td> <p> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:cnchess@iwon.com'>Charles W. Hess</a><br> <b>On: </b>08/15/2005 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>I was interested to note that you flew with my uncle, Lt. Charles F. Hess, on several missions. Do you recall anything about those missions in particular? Do you recall anything about my uncle and how he interacted with the crew? My uncle did not survive the war, and my entire family is trying to fill in the blanks in his record. His crew bailed out on the Solingen mission (Misison #2) and his plane was forced land at an RAF base. So, he was restricted to flying a desk until Lt. Fowler got sick. I would love to know how many missions he flew with the Fowler crew, and anything you can remember about Lt. Charles F. Hess.<br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr class="GridAltRow"> <td> <p> <h2>Re: R.M.Fowler and crew.</h2> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:Gavin.Larson@Stryker.com'>Gavin Larson</a><br> <b>On: </b>09/07/2006 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>Mr. Kashner,<br><br>I'm not sure if you ever check this forum for replies anymore (it's been a while since you posted your message), but it looks like you may have also flown with my grandfather, Dean Larson (ball turret). I'm looking for information on his service, but haven't found much. According to the combat crew listing on this web site, his pilot (and your's for a time) was D.C. Pruitt. However, it looks like D.C. Pruitt's crew was almost identical to Fowler's crew that you have listed. Did you happen to know my grandfather, and if so, do you have any memories of him? I'd appreciate any info that you could provide. Thanks.<br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
