Sirs, I am attempting to obtain info c/w with my uncle Joseph Paskvan, Lieutenant 8th Army Air Force. He was declared MIA on 6-21-44 on his 27th mission over Germany(this from a faded newspaper article). The article provides no info about groups or wings and my dad and uncles are all deceased so I am unable to obtain any other first hand info. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Joe Paskvan(My Dad named me after him)

REF. MY PREVIOUS COMMENT, MAKE THAT "THREE HORSEMEN".

GREAT HOME PAGE. AS A MEMBER OF THE 303D BOMB GROUP(H) ASSOCIATION I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN THE OTHER THREE HOUSEMEN!

I have been looking for anything related to the 91st. I to am interested in Chow Hound. Pictures and stories would be nice to see. Thank you all.

MY FATHER-IN-LAW, LOUIS O'CONNELL FLEW ABOUT 12 MISSIONS ON
"JACK THE RIPPER" OF THE 26 TOTAL THAT HE FLEW OUT OF BLASSINGBOURN. A FEW YEARS AGO HE CONTRACTED "KREUTZFELD-JACOB" DISEASE WHICH IS SIMILAR TO "MAD COW DISEASE". IT HAS BEEN A MYSTERY TO US HOW HE MAY HAVE CONTRACTED THIS DISEASE. ONE STRONG LINK WOULD SEEM TO BE THE PROLONGED TIME THAT HE SPENT IN ENGLAND DURING WWII. THIS DISEASE HAS A VERY LONG GESTATION PERIOD, SOMETIMES 30 TO 40 YEARS CAN ELAPSE FROM CONTACT TO MANIFESTATION. WE ARE CURIOUS TO DETERMINE IF THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE A LINK BETWEEN HIS WARTIME ACTIVITIES "CHOW" AND HIS
"ONE IN A MILLION DISEASE DEATH".

THIS DISEASE SHOWS ITSELF AS A VERY RAPID ALZHEIMERS EPISODE WITH
INITIAL DIS-ORIENTATION AND DEATH NOT MORE THAN MONTHS APART.

DOES ANYONE RECOGNIZE THIS AS THE CAUSE OF DEATH OF OTHERS FROM THIS UNIT.

MORE THAN ONE EVENT OF THIS TYPE IN A UNIT WOULD HELP TO CONFIRM
THAT THIS MAY BE THE GENESIS OF THE DISEASE FOR LOUIS.

I KNOW THAT THIS SOUNDS STRANGE BUT WHEN A "ONE IN A MILLION" DISEASE LIKES THIS SHOWS UP IT MAKES YOU WONDER.

THANKS FOR THE WEBSITE..WE WERE IN CAMBRIDGE A FEW YEARS AGO BUT COULD NOT FIND BLASSINGBOURN ON THE MAP.

THE NEXT TIME WE WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL FIND THE MUSEUM.

I just finished re-painting my 1944 Willys Jeep in the markings of the 91st.
She's outfitted for the 323rd SQ, and will be a tribute to the crew of the "Sugar Blues" (OR-S), which ditched in the north sea on 22 Feb, 1944, and especially to the late Peter Delo, the co-pilot.
I'm honored to have been a friend of "Pete's" while I lived nearby him in Florida. He passed away this past October in North Carolina.
If anyone remembers the plane or any of the crew, I'd love to hear from you.
I'll post pics of my Jeep after I've gone to the Olympia, WA airshow next weekend.

Great homepage; My stepfather, William Franklin Smith(smitty), an Alabama boy, was in the 91st at Bassingbourne 42-44; he was a corporal; he was some type of ground support personel who did mechanical work and also assisted in managing facilities at Knebworth House(I believe). He is 90 years old and can no longer remember his experiences. I am interested in seeing pictures of Knebworth House and its airmen during the war and reading about how the 91st airmen were administered and housed off base and lived day to day within the local economy while going back and forth to base for their military mission. thanks

Vernon flew on the lewd angel amd would like to hear from any of that crew.

I am looking for information about my father Staff Sgt. Fredrick Goldberg. He was in the 15th Air Force Division, 32nd Bomber Squadon, 301st Bomber Group. Also a man who served with my dad in the Army Air Corp at the same time 2/42- 5/45, Amos Sewiel, a wonderful artist. Any info on either men would be appreciated.

My father (deceased) was a tail gunner in a B-17 squadron stationed in Europe during WWII. I'm afraid that is all I know about his service. His name was D.J. Ritchie, from Texas. I am seeking any information that anyone might have regarding him and his airplane.
