I was a crew member on the original Channel Express. The crew was split up in May,1944. Did not know whoflew Channel Express after May 20, as I had completed my missions. This could be the same airplane that I was on. Probably have a picture of the plane with the name shown on the nose. Do you have a list of names of those KIA on this plane?<br/> |- | '''Dom Ceresa''' <br/>8/1/2001 9:24:45 PM | Dear Mr. McCawley,<br/> Thanks for your reply. The KIA were Dominic Ceresa,<br/> Harold Eames,Robert Mahler,Paul White,William Nealon,<br/> Alfred Wieters,and James Faulkner. Bill Massey,Lew<br/> Stelljes & Francis Berard bailed out and spent three<br/> months in France before getting back to England.<br/> According to the pilot, Mr. Massey,the plane had<br/> 37 missions when it crashed in France.<br/> I also have a photo of the tail section taken where it crashed near Jauldes, France.<br/> Best regards,<br/> Dom Ceresa<br/> <br/> |- | '''Fred McCawley''' <br/>8/18/2001 2:11:13 AM | Still looking for the picture for you. I have several pictures that are misplaced, but still have hopes of finding. Incidentally, the original Channel Express crashed in England after the crew had bailed out. This was Dec 22,'43.The history book has a couple of pictures of this plane.<br/> |- | '''Dom Ceresa''' <br/>8/19/2001 10:10:42 PM | Dear Mr. Mccawley,<br/> Thanks for the update.<br/> I have a list of the missions flown by the Channel<br/> Express with my uncle's crew, if you are interested.<br/> Can you provide more information about the history<br/> book you mentioned?<br/> Best regards,<br/> Dom Ceresa<br/> |- | '''Fred McCawley''' <br/>8/21/2003 12:23:46 AM | Dom, I have another photo of Channel Express 11 if you are still interested<br/> |- | '''Fred McCawley''' <br/>3/3/2004 12:29:52 AM | Have located a good pic of Channel express #2<br/> |}
