Re:Info on Joseph R. Kingston and crew
(permalink)
I have recently received a bunch of records from the National Archives on my grandfather. My father and I had been wondering why there was a giant gap in his service from his first flight on Sept. 15 1943, until his next flight about 2 months later. It turns out he was grounded for "debilitating headaches".
This has lead us to a new question. As stated before, I have a bunch of his loading lists for most of his flights. I am now very interested in specifically his Sept. 15 flight. I have gotten a lot of help here with the information I have, but was wondering if I have left any stones unturned. Are there any other places I might be able to look for this particular set of loading lists? If it helps, his transcripts showed this as a diversionary flight.
Also, a related question. His medical transcripts showed he was grounded after his second flight. His bombing record dose not show any other flights before being restored to flying status. Would it be possible to fly a mission and not get credit for it?
Thanks as always for the help.
