Major Bowen--B-26 Driver--Evaded over the Pyrenees Oct 1943 - 03/22/2006 09:01:42 PM
I am looking for any information on a Major Bowen who was a member of an escape party that crossed the Pyrenees with 10 other airmen on 28 Oct 1943. Maj. Bowen was described as a B-26 pilot in one of the E&E reports.  I am assuming that given the dates that he might have been a member of either the 322nd, 323rd, 386th or 387th Bomb Groups.  The escape group originated in Paris and they took a train to Toulouse and then to the foothills of the Pyrenees.  The crossing was near Andorra and then southeast to Barcelona.  I am writing a history and any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Warren B. Carah
