11/20/2004 2:00:48 PM | My mother's brother J.J. Hannon was co-pilot on a mission to Gorenflos #42-31374, which went down in France on 13 March 1944. I am looking for any information relating to him, his fellow crew members, and the mission itself. I am in San Antonio, TX. He has 1 surviving brother, 3 sisters, & numerous other family members anxious to learn from those with whom he served. I have c/p from this website the list of the crew on the aircraft "The Nasty Habit", which was the only one of the 23 which did not return on that day. Please contact me........
Respectfully, Penny Woodward
