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

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.

Name: Roger A. Stewart Jr.
From: Blaine, MN
E-mail: Contact 		I am a son of Roger A Stewart who was a second leutenant with this squadron. He went on to serve in Korea flying medivac and obvservation helicopters. After Korea, he stayed in the Marines and retired as a Colonel in 1966. He passed away in 1990. My son, Roger A Stewart III, found this website and I am so happy he did. It is amazing to see some of these photos. Some I have seen and have copies of. I have two brothers and a sister and I know they will also be excited to hear how you have documented this piece of history. I only wish my Dad could be here to see it. Thank you so much.
