    I am looking for information on David H. Dewhurst of the 386th Bomb Group.  Is there anyone in the Association who knew him, remembers him, flew with him, or has any information about him?  My purpose is to gather information for his family, including two surviving sons.  Please contact me at:  drjamowbray@msn.com
    I am a professor of strategy and airpower at the Air War College, Maxwell AFB, AL.  This is an earnest request.
