My Grandfather John F. McEachron was part of the 65 Bomb Squadron, 43 Bomb Group (H). He departed from the US on 30 JUN 1943 and returned 23 MAR 1944. Any information is greatly appreciated; this site has proven to be invaluable!

Great Website. My father was Capt. Bernard Wollin, a navigator. Not sure which aircraft he flew aboard. Dad passed away in October 2002 in Boca Raton, FL.
I may be able to find some photos that I can scan and upload. If there is interest in more images for the website, please let me know where to send them.

My father-in-law was Ervin Schindhelm, bombardier on the B-24. Am currently trying to sort through his photos from the war - Ervin died in 1999, his wife in 2006. If anyone has served, or has family who served, with Erv, I'd love to hear from you! - he would have loved the idea of this website!

My Dad was Don P Baker - flew with all the brave men of the 43rd and as "Ken's Men". He worked tirelessly to help with the reunions after he got over his fear of flying! His return trip to the mainland was so frightening he told God he'd never go more than 20' off the ground if he made it. lol

But he did, and was a big part of their revitalized reunions - died August 18, 1995; lived to see all the 50th anniversary TV shows and to talk to some of his remaining flight buddies. God bless my Daddy and all those who served with him in the 43rd.

Hello,

I am trying to make contact with Alan Matisoff, the son of the 64th Squadron nose gunner S/Sgt Jack Matisoff. I would like to learn more about Sgt. Matisoff's service with the 64th as well as the story of Sgt. Delray echo-Hawk.

Thank you,

Edward Rogers

My great uncle (Robert Varner) and his fellow crew members were apart of the 43rd. They did not return from a bombing raid on April 28, 1945. He is memorialized with a grave marker in the Punch Bowl in Honolulu. I would love to share his photo with you all.
