: : Sixty one years ago this morning the 369th BS sent a number of B-17s on a bomb run to the synthetic oil plant at Mersberg Germany. The Duration Plus did not return. My cousin, William A. Gregory, bombardier, gave his all that day. This ultimate sacrifice was repeated by many during that war and they should all be honored and remembered. William is remembered and honored this day.
: WELL DONE, JIM
I also flew a mission that day, the target was a
chemical plant in Ludwigshafen,Ger. I was shot out of the sky that day, but got back ok.(Thank
the good Lord)I pray for those who did'nt return that day.
