Letter from Dan James (7/3/84) says that crew joined the 100th Group

They replaced T/Sgt Jones P. Ingram and another man I do not remember. "
James adds that "our plane was downed by a German fighter. " …jb
Statement by Milton E. Harness: "Co-pilot (Richard W. Brooks). West
Roxbury, Mass. , said Pilot had chute on and did not appear to be injured,
but we think it likely the plane exploded in mid-air, as the oxygen system
was afire and there appeared to be a gasoline fire in the bomb bay. Bill
(William M. Beddow) probably was killed in the plane. Plane was on bombing
run and time about 1500 hours. " |
