: Father, Charles H. Otis, was navigator of Windy City Challenger, shot down near Lieusaint, France on July 14, 1943, 4 survivors. Seeking info from anyone who knew my father and any details about plane, its crash, etc. Also seeking info about Black Swan, piloted by Frank W. Scott, my father's best friend. This plane was shot down over Bay of Biscay July 4, 1943, no survivors. Also would be eager to hear from anyone who knew Charlie Otis at Stalag Luft III, South Compound. Any news greatly appreciated!
Hi Nancy,
305thBG/422ndBS
I am not sure if you have the crew lists of your Dad's aircraft 'Windy Challenger' 42-3049, and the crew list of his friend Lt. Frank W. Scott Jr.,
so I will e-mail them to you. Also, a picture of 'Windy Challenger', I have not come across a picture of 'Black Swan'.
Perhaps the other guys here on the Message Board might be able to help with more information.
Cheers,
