Crew Notes
I just received from the Army WWII records that my uncle, Myron E. Warner and the Dodrill crew were never found. It is assumed after 4 years of searching after WWII that the B-17 must have crashed in the North Sea between Belgium and England. The MACR report is inaccurate. Would you please make notation on website with the MACR report that army records show Dodrill crew is MIA possibly lost in North Sea and no bodies or the aircraft have ever been recovered…...Sherry Warner
