Doug, can you confirm the Queen-City was part of 442 TCG/ 303rd Squadron?
Peter.

Peter, F/O Noel McCann was in the 442nd TCG either the 303rd or 304th since there was
two serials A-41(303) and A-53 (304), I don't know which one. I looked around because I
thought Charles Day said which squadron it was. Well I guess I will ask him again.

Doug

Peter, Any thing new about the "Queen City"? The articles looked really good.
I did some video on a B-17, B-24 and B-25 along with a P-51C two seater at
my airport last weekend. Interviewed a B-17 pilot who was shot down and a POW
for 5 months.

Doug

Doug, nothing new at the moment, but if there is something new will post it on this forum.
Was the B17 pilot shot down over Europe and do you know what stalag he was in?
Peter.

Peter, I interviewed Earl Morrow on my new camera and hope to have it on
the website later. He spent five months as a POW and traveled abit. They had
a newspaper article on him so I will look it up on where he went. One thing he
mentioned was he lost about 55 pounds in that 5 months as everyone, including
the guards lacked food. He also was not happy about the fighter escort as they
chased after German fighters and other fighters -FW-190s and ME-111s shot
down his bomber killing three of the crew. The Tuskegee Airman-an all-Black
pilot squardon-always stayed with the bombers and went thru the entire war
without losing one bomber.

Doug,i just watched some great photo's of that day where I think you were also present.

Enjoy.

Peter, Some more information on B-17 pilot Earl Morrow. He once returned from a mission in which
3 of his 4 engines were out. He was flying so low that he wasn't sure he could clear the white clifffs of
Dover. The Flying Fortress did land and had 100 punctures in the fuselage from enemy fire including
some as large as a manhole cover. In November 1944 over Eastern Germany on his 17th mission his
plane was hit by German fighters after four passes. He pushed his wounded co-pilot out the plane and
10 seconds after he bailed out the plane exploded killing two gunners and the radio operator. He was
shifted around POW camps until he ended up in Nuremburg where he stayed. In April, 1945 an American
tank crashed thru the front gate. Moments later General George Patton stood at attention before the
liberating prisoners. who saluted Morrow and the others and then moved on. He said, "OK fellas, I've
got a war to win".
