E-mail: Contact 		Please contact me with any info or pictures from Shanghai China, Bombing Banshees. My father served with you and passed away in 1981. It is great to have the technology to contact anyone who knew my dad as a young adult since I was only 17 when he died. Thank you!

E-mail: Contact 		Thanks to the Webmaster for creating this site it is fantastic. My Dad was Corp. Gerard McGinnis. I found his logbook years ago and was fortunate enough to offer it for this website. I would love to hear from anyone having info about his service with 443 - like most veterans he did not talk much about it. If anyone has pictures please forawrd along I would love to share them with my siblings. Full respect to all veterans

From: McMinnville, TN
E-mail: Contact 		My father Eugene C. McNew was an armorer gunner in the squadron. He seldom spoke of his war experiences and never revealed to Mom that his plane had crashed in the Pacific. I found it later in his flight log book.
Does anyone one have more information about it? He said they lost the tail gunner and copilot.
I am grateful for this site and will pass it on to his grandchildren.
