Anyone know if Mr Hennesy is still alive and how to contact him or his family?

My grandfather did his B-25 training at Douglas and my dad has his logbook.....I know that when he ws there even in 1945 they still had some olive drab early model B-25s on the field....I'm love to know if my grandfather actually flew the airplane in the article.

WOW!

Recovering from a probable flat spin in a heavy twin is something not done everyday. Some superb airmanship with luck thrown in. If he hadn't recovered it would have been just another unfortunate WWII training accident.
