Re: Trying to track down the "Mary Alice" 's flight and ground crews

My father, Bill Huegin, flew on the "Mary Alice" as Dan Knight's co-pilot.  His missions were March 9, 1944 thru June 25, 1944 (28 missions).  I am trying to find out his last two missions as Dan Knight finished his 30 missions on June 25th and does not recall.  I am sure your father was on all missions with them.  We had no details of my father's time in England until very recently.  He was killed in a car accident when I was a young girl. I found out about this last spring when a friend of Dan Knight's contacted my family.  It is a long, wonderful story--too much for E-mail.  I do have ORIGINAL photos of the "Mary Alice" and also the crew.  I am looking at your father now, and they are wearing those jackets.  I do not have a scanner to send the crew photo but will work on it and am willing to mail it to you or to someone at The 401st Forum if they would like to post it. I would love to hear from you.  Linda
