418th Sqdn. Letter from Bertholf 8/Sep/88: Crew joined the 100th in Sept. 1943. . . . jb

Flying a/c 42-38059 LD-A. This A/C was leading the high squadron when attacked by fighters. The nose was shot away and other damage occurred. It was Richardson's belief that as the ship wildly maneuvered, Jones slipped or was thrown from the nose without his chute. Malcuit & Pry both suffered burns about the face and eyes. "

Lt Alf was replaced for this mission of 6/3/44 by Lt George E. Kinsella from the T. J. Keilly crew. Kinsella was KIA. Lt. Alf was flying with Col. Kelly and Capt. Lakin when he became a POW. Alf had arrived at the 100th Group as pilot with his own crew on 1/12/43.

Letter from E. L. Richardson dated 8/4/86 says, "Miner's crew was on its 25 mission. And that he was" flying as replacement for D. Berthlof, Nav. who was ill with a sinus infection"
