| My uncle, Dominic Ceresa,co-pilot of the &quot;Channel Express&quot;, was killed on his 19th mission to Bordeux on June 19, 1944. I have information about a monument built near the crash site in honor of the seven crew members killed.<br/>   I trying to find a photo of his plane.<br/> Thanks,<br/> Dom Ceresa<br/>

| May have a photo.  I was a crew member on the original Channel Express.  The crew was split up in May,1944. Did not know whoflew Channel Express after May 20, as I had completed my missions.  This could be the same airplane that I was on. Probably have a picture of the plane with the name shown on the nose.  Do you have a list of names of those KIA on this plane?<br/>

| Still looking for the picture for you.  I have several pictures that are misplaced, but still have hopes of finding.  Incidentally, the original Channel Express crashed in England after the crew had bailed out.  This was Dec 22,'43.The history book has a couple of pictures of this plane.<br/>
