aircraft, Dorsal Queen ? I am replying for a friend
S/Sgt Howard Crull who says he was on Dorsal Queen when they were shot down. The records show them in
Command Performance. That was their regular aircraft
but was down for maintenance. Mr. Crull is our bugler
for our burial detail here in Portsmouth, Oh American
Legion post 23.

4/5/2007 2:22:01 PM | I am writing for S/Sgt Howard Crull who was the Ball
turret gunner on Lt. A.B. Vokaty's crew. He claims
that when they were shot down by fighter aircraft, your uncle Bud Sanders was on his aircraft. He also said that they were on the aircraft "Dorsal Queen".
Records show them on their regular plane called, Command Performance but it was down for maintenance.
Records show a W.M. Canter also killed on that flight.
The rest of the crew ended up P.O.W."s in Austria. When I see Mr.Crull again and get anymore info I will
post it on here.
