I flew about half my missions as copilot on the Werner G. Goering crew and the other half as pilot. I flew several missions as check pilot with new crews on their first mission so I might have flown your first mission with some of you. You can tell if I was flying as we usually bounced 3 to 6 times when we landed. I got to practice several landings that way with each final, but we landed back in England at least once on every one of the 35. Sometimes though the poor old birds we got back in went to the scrap pile I fear. We never aborted so they were always in good shape when we left and I've always been grateful to you fellows who worked all night to get them that way.

My name is Allen Miller. My dad passed away in 1988. His name was H.Clifton Miller, T/Sgt., 359th, engineer/gunner with the 1st crew of the "Sweet LaRhonda" He was about 34 years old when he was flying combat, and I think at one time he said that he might have been the oldest man in the group flying combat at that particular time. I have a few pictures that could be of interest to other folks and will try to get them scanned soon. He kept a few comments regarding each of his 35 missions on paper tags attached to bomb arming pins, probably one of my most prized possessions. -----Original Message----- From: 303rd-Talk-admin@303rdBGA.com [mailto:303rd-Talk-admin@303rdBGA.com]On Behalf Of Gary Moncur Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000 8:39 AM To: 303rd-Talk@303rdbga.com Subject: [303rd-Talk] Introductions Looks like we're off to a pretty good start with 303rd-Talk. There are about 45 members signed up thus far. About half have selected the digest rather than regular mail. Right now it appears that the digest is not working - or is at least delayed in being sent out. It that remains a problem, I'll have to make some changes. Since all I see are email addresses, some of which are pretty cryptic, would everyone please reply to this and give a short introduction so we all can tell who is here? I'm Gary Moncur, son of Vern L. Moncur 359th pilot. He passed away in 1985.

On January 23rd 1945, I flew 'bastard' on Warren Maugher's crew. We were shot up pretty bad and didn't make it home. We spent a week or so, on the continent before we could get back to England.I am assuming, Glen flew that day and I'm sure as my fading memory serves me----Glen's crew and I had a good time, one of the highlights of my war !

Hello all, Just landed on the list. My name is Todd Hollritt son of Alfred K. Hollritt 303BG (H) 427th SQ. Dad arrived in Molesworth April 1944 and finished his tour October 1944. He was a Ball Turret gunner on the Lt. Charles E. Johnson crew (You can see two crew photos at 303rdbga.com web page). Late in his tour Dad was assigned to the "Path Finder" H2X radar equipped B-17Gs that were stationed at Chelveston with the 305th BG (H). Dad is doing great at 77, Along with my Brother Barry and I he made his first trip back to Molesworth last September and returned again with the 303rd Bomb Group last month for the Hanger Dance and Memorial Dedication. We also toured a huge chunk of 1st and 2nd Air Division bases in England as well as the Duxford air Museum, The RAF museum at Hendon and the city of London and the Cottswold's. And we visited every Pub along the way! :o) Todd-
