The Story

After several years of research we have uncovered a lot of material. It has been a challenge to organize and present on-line. My approach is to break the web site into two sections.

• Section one, "The Story", is a straight retelling of the events as we known them with as much amplifying information as possible.
  
  
  • Introduction to Ed Brumback
    • Page 2
    • Page 3
  • Ardmore AAB & the Bond Crew
  • Kearney to England - Aircraft problems
  • Second attempt, England and the 381st BG
  • The Missions
    • March 29, 1944
    • April 8, 1944
      • Belly Landing
    • April 10, 1944
    • April 18, 1944
    • April 19, 1944, shot down
    • April 21, 1944, burials at Fretterode, Germany
  • Notification of family
  • Graves Registration Command, 1948
  • Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, 1951
  • Research starts, early-1990's
    
    
• The rest of the web site consists of a series of 'fact sheets" that you see presented as buttons; Aircraft, Missions, Maps & Charts, Research, and Feedback.
  
  These sections should stand on their own and make for quick reference material. You can explore them now.
