 Dear Mike,



    I appreciate your efforts.  Here is some more information from me.

    I was a spare gunner transferred from the 388th bomb group to the

    100th bomb group in late 1944.  I flew my first mission with the 100th

    bomb group in early January 1945 over Cologne, Germany.  I came to

    the 100th bomb group with four other volunteers from the 388th.  Among

    these four was Tech/Sgt Piepgras who was lost over Hamburg (actually lost over Buchen)

    Germany.  I remember the following crews - Calder's crew, Kallsarand's crew,

    Baldwin's crew ( they were lost over the channel on April 3,  1945).  I was a 

    friend of tech/sgt Turner who was killed over Brunswick, Germany (believe this to be

    Cecil Baker from Thrasher Crew).  He was a tailgunner.  The last colonel of the group I remember was Sutterlin.

    I flew the following missions to cities - Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich,

    Polenz (which was located in the far western German or Poland area) plus

    other missions.  Our last operations officer was a captain or Major Wooten.

    I remember when Robert Rosenthal was CO of the 418th and he had a broken

    arm when he flew a shuttle mission to the far western front.

    I will send photos that I have and information via mail.  What 

    is a good address to send these to?  



    Again, Mike, I can't thank you enough for all your assistance.  This means a lot

    to me.



    Sincerely,

    Joe

Dear Friends,

My name is Joe Perry and I was a tech/sgt. I don't recall my squadron but recall that my Lt. Colonel was Robert Rosenthal and remember Captain Evans. Would love to hear from anyone out there. I do recall, quite vividly, that I flew 26 missions as a gunner….Joe Perry
