: Moofy,

: Sorry to hear about Al - but I need to point out that your last statement re: him being on Bim-Bam-Bola is incorrect. That aircraft was flying with the Billie Blanton crew (714 Sqn) when it was shot down. My father - Armor McKain was on aboard and was captured in Switzerland in July 1944.

Hi Todd, hi Moofy, hi Keith,

I just came acrross this posting and I am glad because I was not able to contact Keith on the old e-mail address I had any longer.

I am doing research on USAAF planes which crashed and llanded in Switzerland during World War Two. A researcher friend of minne is planning to build a detailed modell of B-24 42-94735 Bim Bam Bola which crashed in Switzerland July 12, 1944. Since the aircraft was completely destroyed when it crashed empty in Switzerland there are no photos of Bim Bam Bola in the Swiss Archives.

If anyone has a photo of Bim Bam Bola I would very much appreciate if I could get a copy by e-mail.

Thanks and regards from Switzerland,
Stefan
