Posted By !! Comments |- | '''Finn Buch''' <br/>9/12/2004 3:40:35 PM | I am searching the Kovach crew, who had their last mission with #42-31369 "Round Tripper" on 5. August 1944. It was mission #123 - Nienburg.<br/> <br/> According the 614th Sqn Loading List this day, I can see the crew of Kovach was:<br/> <br/> P 1st Lt. Kovach, John W.<br/> CP 2nd Lt. Kellam, James W.<br/> N 2nd Lt. Coselli, Frank J. Jr.<br/> CTG S/Sgt. Horbatuck, Stepan J.<br/> RO T/Sgt. Pollard, Omer S.<br/> TT T/Sgt. Rouhselang, Willard J.<br/> BT S/Sgt. Guest, Hollis D.<br/> TG S/Sgt. Schmidt, Edward J.<br/> WG S/Sgt. Maki, Arthur W. <br/> <br/> Next day the aircraft went down in the Baltic Sea with the Sauerwald Crew.<br/> <br/> I am very interested to have a photo of the aircraft. Please refer to other messages on this Messsage Board concerning the recovery.<br/> <br/> <br/> Kind regards<br/> <br/> Finn Buch<br/> |- | '''Scott McElvain''' <br/>9/12/2004 5:49:17 PM | The National Archives has a negative # A65452AC of Round Tripper. I can't tell from the negative number if this is a crew picture in front of the airplane, a shot of the plane itself, or a painted jacket. They will send you a xerox copy of the photo from that negative and a brochure on how to order prints from companies that have "pull" rights. Look at the National Archives website.<br/> |- | '''Scott McElvain''' <br/>9/16/2004 9:15:15 PM | There is a negative # A65452AC at the National Archives that has Round Tripper in it. There's no way of knowing what kind of shot it is unless you ask them. <br/> |- | '''Finn Buch''' <br/>9/17/2004 4:29:59 PM | Hello Scott,<br/> <br/> Many thanks for your reply. This must must be our last chance, in case we not can find a photo among the readers of this message board.<br/> <br/> Kind regards<br/> <br/> Finn Buch<br/> |}
