Fred B Newman passed away 6/15/2005. I had no access to the web site to post sooner. He did tell me of his combat flights and of the equipment he installed and operated. Of a little girl the unit unofficially adopted, a crash at the end of the runway in which some crew members perished. I would liked to have gotten a lot of info from him sooner but he wasn't ready to talk about any of it sooner. He spent a year out of the military after the war then rejoined with the USAF in '46 and spent another 22 years. He married an English woman,I have the original marriage certificate. Thank You for having this site.
