Hi Bill, I was doing a search on my mother’s cousin...Michael Lotfy - served in WW2....and your article appeared. I noticed you mentioned his burial there...would you have any more information on him?Incoming Message: Classified, Ruth-less
Great to hear about you sharing this with your class. I have the official crash report for the loss of "Ruth-Less", as well as the specific file for SSGT Maloy (hometown address was Hacoda, AL). I researched the entire crew some years ago; quite an extensive project. Via Dropbox, I will send you his file shortly. Best, BillIncoming Message: Classified, Ruth-less
I am Aubrey Maloy's cousin. My mother talked about him often. I would be interested in any information that you may have on him. I am sharing this with my class today and talking about the great men on this flight. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope to someday visit the memorial.Wee Willie and the photo that started it all
My grandfather, S/Sgt M.E. Cisney BT gunner with the 322, 91st... flew in this plane approximately a month before, wrote in his journal “today we went up in Wee Willie, an old plane with 104 missions...” The photograph is completely and utterly disturbing to think that could have been him and I wouldn’t be here... He kept a detailed journal of all his missions, date, time, plane, payload, temperature, target, bombs away, flak density.... There’s some lines in his journal that just blow me away... “I was in the ball for 9 1/2 hours” “flak knocked out No. 2 and No. 4 engines we dropped out of formation and flew back, it was a very lonesome feeling, thankfully we didn’t see any fighters, we would have been sitting ducks...” “the target area was ablaze, it was the most fire I’ve ever seen in one place (Dresden)” In my opinion not enough credit and publicity is given to the men of the 8th, they destroyed Hitler’s war machine from the inside out...Women in WWII: Cornelia Clark Fort
Hi Steve: the files is silent on the fate of F/O Stamm. I do know that he survived the War. Best, Bill
