Homer Goodman, the last of the Seamons Deamons B-17 Crew, 100th Bomb Group has passed away. The last four, Captain Jim Seamons, Radioman Herb Grand, Gunners Ed J. Tatro and Homer Goodman passed in the last year. A real group of American Heros. Having been shot down on their last mission but making it back after a crash landing. They were credited with 30 mission as lead plane thus qualifying to be sent home November 1944. We were lucky to have had them and to have enjoyed their stories and perils at several 100th Bomb Group Reunions these passed years. Great men with wonderful families. RIP Shared my brothers post. Our dad Ed Tatro went to his glory in October of 2016. These men and all WW2 VETERANS, were the Real Heroes!

Capt Eugene Muttersback, STATION TRAINING - GROUP GUNNERY OFFICER (INSTRUCTOR)

We never knew the number of missions my father-in-law, Paul J. Amon Sr., flew with the 100th Bomb Group. He was removed from his original crew, Lundquist-Pilot, when crews removed one gunner position and went from a 10 man to 9 man crew and he went to the spare gunner pool. Apparently, he flew with many different crews. After, the war, my father-in-law joined the Ohio State Patrol. We recently received records from the State Patrol on his service there. We were able to see his name mentioned in several of the monthly newsletters, 'The Flying Wheel'. In one newsletter welcoming new troopers, my father-in-law mentioned that he flew 17 missions. So now we know that and that he was also a gunnery instructor for the 100th. Interested to see that all of the other new state troopers were World War II veterans.
