Stanley T. Major (P) flew with this crew to complete his tour .. 29 Jul
44 Merseburg
Lt. Houghton had arrived at the 100 GP on 9/3/44 as CP on the
Andrew Gorski crew. The rest of the above crew
(except for Sgt. John Nelson) had all reached the 100th Group on 7/4/44 as
members of the Stanley T. Major crew.
Sgt. Nelson was assigned to the 390th Bomb Group and no doubt was a last
minute replacement for this one mission. A/C #42 97859 was a 390th Group ship.
Lt. Thornton Bline was an evadee and was assisted by the French
underground. He still corresponds with his French friends today. Lt.
Bline retired from the USAF as a Colonel. (This from T. Alan Bline - son -
