7/11/2009 10:00:28 AM | Wayne Passeno served with my father Carl D. Anderson (radio operator) on Flak Rat II (aka Patches). Email my brother, Dale Anderson, at fndaa@uaf.edu for more information. Dale is the Historian for the 401st Association and a Board Member as am I. I have some pictures I can scan in for you if you will send me your email. The 401st website has a crew photo and a list of all their missions with Carlton Wilson. Please come to our next reunion in Savannah, GA, August 25-29, 2010. We would love to meet you. We have had very little contact with anyone from Dad's crew.

Thank you for the info and the invitation!!! My wife and I may try to come next year. I will e-mail your brother to get more info and send you my e-mail address. I got some stuff off of the 401st website a while ago. All we have is a letter that Wayne sent to my dad about 2 weeks before they were shot down.
Thanks again
