Memo 2:
Michael Faley and Dieter Joosens, I found a record indicating he was briefly part of the Richard Miller crew in the 100th. After he was wounded he was taken to the 65th General Hospital. I don’t see any flight record with the 100th after that. Additionally I saw no indication that we ever had any post-war contact with Hall or his family...Matt Mabe
