I am trying to find out information about the hero I
am named for, Lt. Richard Francis Brigham.
Lt. Brigham was my late fathers boyhood friend,
and he gave his life for America in 1944 when his
B17 was shot down over Germany, (he was 19 years old).
The name of his plane was " THE COCK OF THE WALK"
He was a member of the 388th Bomber Group.
Does anyone have any information about him?
I know very little about him, and wish only to honor
his memory....Thank You, and God bless all our VETS!
