| Transferred over from the Old Forum<br/> <br/> Info search.<br/> <br/> Posted by: michael mastrangelo   <br/> Date:Saturday, May 19, 2007 <br/>   <br/> I am looking for information on my fathers experience in the 401st. He passed away a few years back but never talked about his time in service with the 401st. His name was Donald Mastrangelo who was a second Lt. and copilot. I recall a reference to serving on the aircraft Ice Cold Katy at some point in time but info is limited. Any help as to how I may proceed to find more info on him would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all of the great work. <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
