I read on his web site that there was an effort to find the wreckage of his B-29. Wonder if anything ever came of it...?

Think that searchers are still trying to find it. I bet that my uncle and his B-29 crew went with Morgan on that one. I'm still trying to find out, both 497th crews.

The following images I snagged with screen capture from a US govt. film made prior to first mission:






note B-25 in background:



B-29-40-BW 42-24592 73rd Wing, 497th Bomb Group, 869th Squadron.


One for Jack:
