    Chill,

    Was Benson's middle initial a 'P'? Also, when did this plane go down?

    Yes, Dave. Benson's middle initial was a P. The plane was 44-41017 shot down over Austria. Benson bailed and the plane crashed on Hohe Munde near Ehrwald.

    Sorry Dave. I didn't answer your question. It went down on 3 Aug 44 after a Freidrickshaven mission.

    If you need it, the MACR number is in the database (new feature just added over the weekend).

    See the "databases" link at top of page.

    Cindy,

    I can tell you that Benson graduated from the bombardier class 43-17 at Midlands, TX. Designated as MI 43-17. I have a website dedicated to bombardiers at: [url "http://freepages.military.rootsweb.com/~hfhm/index.html"]http://freepages.military.rootsweb.com/~hfhm/index.html[/url]. I would like to add the information on Benson and his crew to my database. Can you provide a crew photo or any other pertinent data? If yes, please respond to my website email address: [url "mailto:hfhmsite@hotmail.com"]hfhmsite@hotmail.com[/url].

    Thanks and good hunting!

    Dave
