Comments: My Great Uncle was 2nd Lt Howard Munson. He was on Craps for the Japs and the plane was lost on a bombing mission. I have been looking for additional information on him and his crew. I have copies (hand copied) of the letters the family received from the government regarding his disapperance, but am interested in knowing if anyone knew him while in the service.
