|   My mother's brother J.J. Hannon was co-pilot on a mission to Gorenflos #42-31374, which went down in France on 13 March 1944.  I am looking for any information relating to him, his fellow crew members, and the mission itself.  I am in San Antonio, TX.  He has 1 surviving brother, 3 sisters, & numerous other family members anxious to learn from those with whom he served.
