Hi everyone, I am a new UK member to the site, and [as elsewhere explained] I am currently writing a book about the Ed Dozier/Don Snow crew & 'Miss Ida' crash on Apr 5th 1945. There are many research aspects to the project, however one aspect I am trying to re-create and am currently lacking is actual personal knowledge of the crew'a actual personalities, ie what were they like, what was their likes & dislikes that type of thing, it's so I can build up an character impresion for the reader, and show them these men were real and not just numbers so to speak. I have already received some wonderful contributions from Ken blakeborough, Willard Reese, John Pearson, and Craig Harris for which I am very grateful for, I would like to offer and request any other veterans who are willing and able to please contribute their own thoughts so I can make the best possible attempt at this and remember the men in the correct light. As a reminder the crew names were:- Lt Donald B Snow Maj Edward Dozier Lt James P Guyot Cpt William J Meng Lt Harry G Vaal Lt Herbert L Stempler Sgt Joseph E Adams Sgt Robert W Pinckney Sgt Robert L Todd Lt Jack E Taifer Please respond in private to myself Allies39to45@aol.com, I would also appreciate your own rank and grade to include with the quote,[ie Lt - Navigator] thank you very much in advance, all replies are very much appreciated, a copy of the finished book will of course be donated to the organisation and be made available to all members.
