I recieved this e-mail, anyone have anything on her? Thanks!
Missing Records . . . I flew as the co-pilot on the Captain John Paul Jones, Jr. crew. After he was wounded, the crew was taken over by First Lieutenant Roger A. Kent. We were with the 723rd SQ. During our time there, we suffered two crashes. One happened at Capodichino, Italy (8-44) and the other on the Island of Vis, off the Dalmatian Coast (10-44). There is NO official record of the disposition of the two incidents. I am hoping that some member of the maintenance or a ground crew chief of the 723rd kept a log of the B-24s in his charge,and noticed the absence of two planes upon mission return. I don't know the S/Ns of either plane, but the name of the Vis B-24 was “No,No Nanette". Any information of the planes and/or crew would be genuinely welcomed. Respectfully, Andy J. Benedict.
