Good Morning Larry!
I will be out probably all day but wanted to share something personal about Dryden with you. You brought him back to life because of your relentless pursuit of WW2 research!
According to Mr. Lefever he was an extra gunner and filled in for the crew that day. He was a tail gunner and because he was not part of the regular crew he did not really know them. But he knew of or knew Dryden.
It was Dryden's 65th mission - and Dryden said that when he got back he was getting out and going back to the States. This was to be his LAST mission!
I did not verify the 65 missions - and thus I did not learn the destination of them.
More on this later but I must say again Larry , you touch so many lives by what you do to help us all!
