Memo 1:
Hi Jan,
Another LOST LAMB ???
I found an obituary for a gentleman who was a mechanic in the 349th BS,100th BG.(link attached)
States he was in the UK and Sweden for 27 months. That Sweden part matches up after hostilities when a number of mechanics went to Sweden to slavage aircraft.
He is not listed in any of the 100th Bomb Group Databases.
Robert L. Collins
Born 19 March,1919
Died 2 May,2006 in Oklahoma City 73116. (I confirmed that info with the ssdi records)
(I found a photo of a COLLINS in the engineering section of CONTRAILS on Page 48 on top of a B-17 but no first name given)
Mike; do you have anything for him?
