| I am researching Richard G. Thill, KIA 4/11/44.  I know that he was with the 614th Bomber Squadron, 401st Bomber Group.  I've ordered MACR 4017 but have not yet received.<br/> <br/> Best I can tell, the plane's nickmame was &quot;Gloria J.&quot; and the SN was 42-39881.  <br/> <br/> I would appreciate any information, photos, hints that might help me piece together the story of the crew, missions, etc.<br/> <br/> Thanks,<br/> Susan<br/>

| Hi Susan- <br/>  I just read your post and if you have any questions that I can answer, let me know... I have a letter written from one of the survivors from the plane. He gives a small account of the event... I wasn't sure if you wanted more information regarding the crew it's self or just your family member... If you are interested, I can tell you what I know about my grandfather... I know that the Gloria J was not the normal plane that they flew on and it was the Shady Ruff.. I learned alot from this website. Let me know if you received the information that I forwarded to you too, since it contained a lot of good information.. Thanks, Gelene<br/>
