Comments |- | '''David Pearce''' <br/>7/9/2002 4:41:49 PM | Seeking any information on Captain William Rumsey and crew. <br/> <br/> I am aware that Capatin Rumsey was lost on the 26/3/44 on the mission to Watton, France whilst flying a/c 42-37833, 'Omar the dentmaker'<br/> <br/> Any information on Missions and aircraft flown will be of help.<br/> <br/> Also any information on the a/c 'Omar the Dentmaker' would also be helpful.How did the a/c obtain the nickname ?. <br/> <br/> Thank you in anticipation. <br/> <br/> Dave<br/> |- | '''Scott McElvain''' <br/>7/22/2002 10:09:15 PM | Can supply you a list of crewmen, missions, airplanes flown, and info on the planes. Too much to put in a reply on the message board. E-mail me. O the D was gained by the unit on November 4, 1943. Rumsey's crew is supposed to have flown it on their first mission 26 Nov 43, and I can't find any evidence of it having flown earlier. Nicknames and serial numbers generally weren't on the loading lists until Aug 44 and beyond unless something significant happened to the plane. <br/> |- | '''Jack Reid''' <br/>7/31/2002 12:42:22 PM | I searched 'google' with 'Omar the Dentmaker' and got a pretty interesting response; apparently one of the crew was interned in Stalag Luft 1 - amazing amount of info - paste this into your browser [http://www.merkki.com/haffnerjames.htm<br/>] |}
