418th Sqdn. This crew, as above, joined the 100th Group on 9/3/44.
Letter from Ray Miller (April 1984):
We had not been a part of the group very long until Andy Gorski was
moved into squadron ops. Burt
Fox had been a bombardier instructor and had gone through phase training
twice. He was a natural for lead crew and insisted that I be his navigator
as we were a "team". Gorski did not go to Pathfinders but did get some
Command pilot time (he got a flak wound in the leg while doing so). Burt &
I teamed up with Austin Dunlap and completed our tour as PFF crew. Kenneth
Houghton got a crew of his own and was shot down but walked out. It was in June 1944 and he has a
good story about Gen. Patton and his staff. I do not know the fate of the
enlisted men of our original crew. |
