"Back in January 1945, Mrs. John G. Fey was notified that the son, Staff Sgt. Ernest Fey, 26, had been shot down over Hamburg, Germany. But her prayers for his safety were answered months later shen she was notified he had been liberated from a prisoner of war camp.
"Saturday the quiet, gray-haired mother prayed that he might again be safe, after the army reported a C-54 cargo plane he was aboard had been missing since Thursday on a flight from Bermuda to Florida. Five other crewmen were aboard the ship.
"The local youth, an aviation radio operator, has been stationed in Bermuda for the past nine months and was on what the army described as "a routine flight" from Kindley Field, Bermuda, to the Morrison army air field, West Palm Beach, Fla."
The plane and crew were never found. Although debris was spotted in the water near where the plane was believed to have gone down, it was never positively identified as coming from the plane.
He was survived by his mother, Margaret C. Fey, and by his wife.
Those on board the plane were:
Major Ralph Ward ,
Sgt. Andrew S. Bagocus , Sgt. Ernest Fey,
Sgt. Fred Fricks , Capt. Clyde Inman , and Major John Sands .
