418th Sqdn. This crew,as above,Joined the 100th Group on 9/3/44.  Crew flew Andy's Dandy's named after Capt. Andrew Gorski

Capt. Gorski went on to become 418th Assistant Operations Officer.  Lt Fox received two Purple Hearts, one due to enemy fighters.  Both Lt Fox and Lt Miller were transferred to 350th BS and Lt Austin Dunlop's Crew.   



Lt Fox received two Purple Hearts.  One from injuries sustanined during a fighter attack. 



Letter from Ray Miller (April 1984)  We had not been a part of the group very long until Andy Gorski was 

moved into squadron ops.  Burt Fox had been a bombardier lnstructor and had gone through phase training 

twice.  He was a natural for lead crew and insisted that I be his navigator as we were a "team". Gorski did 

not go to Pathfinders but did get some Command pilot time (he got a flak wound in the leg while doing so). 

Burt & I teamed up with Austin Dunlap and completed our tour as , PFF crew. Kenneth Houghton got a crew of 

his own and was shot down but walked out.  It was in June 1944 and he has a good story about Gen.Patton and 

his staff. I do not know the fate of the enlisted men of our original crew.
