| My Father-in-law flew in &quot;Chute the Works&quot; and would like to talk to any of his crew.  His name is R.W. Edwards and he was the ball turret gunner on this plane.  The other crew members beginning with the Pilot in command are P.R. Koons, D. Kahan, E.L Dobrowolski, R.J. Pretty, T.J. McNinn, C.E. Shane, O. Huerta, R.T. Eckeurode, and T.W. Tutwiler.  If anyone knows any of these people, please e-mail me immediately.  Thank you ,  Bill Fike<br/>

| Thanks for your reply.  I will see my father-in-law Saturday night and I will try to get some more information.  What brought this on is that he just gave his daughter, my wife, all his medals and anything associated with his military service.  He is not sick and/or in poor health, however, I think he is getting everything in order before his passing.        <br/>

| Bill:  401st association records show only one crew member: Octavio Huerta 4587 Wawona St. Los Angeles, CA 90065-5232. Suggest your father-in-law join the association. At $10 per year he would receive four issues of our newsletter and other benefits. Applications are available at the membership section of our web site.<br/>
