Kurt Brader 10/5/2001 8:51:38 AM | My compliments on the appearance, information and mechanics of your web site. It does great honor to those who served in the 401st. I am doing research on my unclue, Lt./Capt. Stephan Nason, who flew with the 613th since its inception. His B-17G was named Pee-Tey-Kun (42-31033). I am seeking photographs of the aircraft and the 613th during its first few months in England. Any assistance or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. |
