: I did find McAllister on 390thBG website. Thanks. I wrote to one of the crewman of his and my dad's. I pray he is still alive.
: I have found info for Kenneth L. Houghton. He was EVA for the downing on June 25, 1944, of "Any Gum Chum," Ser. # 42-97859. A researcher for the 390th BG sent the address and phone number for 2nd Lieutenant Kenneth L. Houghton. Just yesterday I drafted a letter of inquiry to him. I also hope he is still alive.
Back into research. The aforementioned crew man is still alive and we have been e-mailing for two years now. He has a wonderful sense of humor and has shared many, many exciting stories of the missions and the crew's viewpoint of my dad. They thought him very brave as he was in the ball turret of a B-17! Lots of great info! Fun.
