I found this website today for the 401stBG and have been so excited to find this treasure of information. If anyone has information that I could share with my dad I would really appreciate it. I would especially like pictures or anything regarding his time with the 401st which looks like it was at least June-August 1944 and possibly longer. Thank you so much!

Hope that someone who remembers him can help I will look at the 2000 Directory and see if any one appears in it. Will let you know.

They have a great research library from what I have been told and they will interview him for their records. I'm excited to hear it myself. He doesn't talk a lot about those times but he is very excited about tracking down whatever information he can.

1/26/2004 8:08:14 PM | Thank you so much, that sounds great! Actually, he has been trying to find information on the aircraft with the Leading Lady logo on it. I can't find in all of the information of this website any planes in his area called the Leading Lady. I have found another aircraft with that title but it wasn't stationed where he was. That is the plane that sticks out most in his mind although it looks like he flew several. If you are able to find the appropriate one, that would really be wonderful. I'll keep checking here to see if you have responded. I've included my e-mail too but if I don't recognize the name, I don't open it so make sure your message says something I would be apt to open. Thanks again.
