In Reply to: researching my father posted by Brandon O. Kounovsky on March 31, 2007 at 17:35:19:
: I am doing research on my father who served with the 493rd BG, 3rd AD at station 152(Debach), 8th AF England.
: His name was Keith O. Kounovsky from Nebraska.
: He passed away in 1986 and as a young man it didn't dawn on me, at that time, to inquire about his service years. Have his discharge papers and the qualification records in my possesion but am having trouble locating any more information i.e. Squadron# and so forth.
: Sent to the ETO Dec. 1944 and returned Jul. 1945. I have a period publication called "Combat Mission" with names and positions on a B-17, am assuming these people were crew members of his. Not one to publish names without permission, you can contact me with any information at the email noted above.
: Any help would be greatly appreciated.
: Brandon O. Kounovsky (son)
Brandon,
www.armyairforces.com/dbgroups.asp?Group=303 will put you on the 493rd Bomb Group forum. Look for a post about Association,Website and Reunions. It may be the top post or somewhere down the line. It will have contacts and links with the group that may be able to help you. You can also post a query for response from someone who may have known him.
