Thanks for your information. It has been added to his memorial, as well as the circumstances of his death, thanks to his plane's serial number which you provided.

Last note ...
Sorry but the link for Hampton didn't work like I wanted it to... I was trying to show what the link looked like and it linked his record instead. :-)

At the end of your html links for each record just add:

target="_blank">

Hi John, Thought you might like this. If you add:

target="_blank"

to the end of your html links it allows people to bring up each record without losing the record they were on ...

The links would look like this:

S/Sgt. William R. Hampton, Jr, Gunner, KIA

Check out the record you just sent me for Richard Gallagher and you will see what I mean by clicking on the crew records...

RE: Di Giovanni
I have been doing research to find out what I can about the B-24 Yankee Rebel crew. As I do, I'll want to add the info to the site.

389th BG Trolley Mission 7 May 1945
Hi John- I had info that all of these men were lost on the Trolley mission when the plane crashed into the Rhine River Bridge at Cologne. The dates don't match for all, so I'm still trying to decipher this one. The MACRs are fully lacking. The records say a loss of 19 men but we found 16. Still a couple dates don't match. Just thought I would FYI and let you know. I am here if you find any additional info or SACs. ThanX- Jana
