"Undo, tho revised proviaiona of the Miaaing Paraona Act. the War Department ia enabled to establish an actual date of death and ia?e an official report of death ia any eaae where the cireumatancea under which that peraon became miaaing in aetio^ lead to no other logical conclusion. The Miaaing Act Crew Report submitted by the 329th Bombardment Squadron, 93rd Bombardment Group,' Identlfiea your aon aa a craw member of a B-24 type aircraft which waa loot on a combat miaalon to Ploeatt, Romania on 1 August 1043. The crew consisted of ten members, one of whom paraehuted to safety and haa since returned to the United States, one who has been reported killed in setion and the remaining eight, of whom your aon was one, have been raTrlo^ In tKn ntelwa e# " * 4 <vw MA vmv av??w V* yivaviUC'4 dead. A statement i included in the report (how that two crew membere of other aircraft saw jour son's plane, fljing at ground level, sudden Ij go into a climb at which time ; they saw"j>ne parachute emerge. Bee-1 on da It. ?r the climb ended la n stall and the plane nosed into a crash. The' mi'Hi ih lilih n0i lultf>irfii liifiii geaut J ace J. aieeu, wiow sums au-1 drees is 2818 Nashville Street. El Paso, "Texas, submitted a report In, which he stated that he. bailed oat at an altitude of between 100 and 200 feet after the plane had sustained several flak hits 'which caused serious damage and which set the aircraft afire. He further stated thaf the low altitude prevents bailing out and that it was his belief that oil of the remaining crew members were killed in the crash. In view of thtee facts and the knowledge that more than three years have elapsed since he waf reported missing in action, it may only be concluded that your son was killed in action at Ploeeti, Romania, on 1 August 1043 when his plane sustained damage by flak and crashed v/hile flying at an exa a a . s. mm? ? i iremeiy low musav. i n? record* ox l the War Department have been a* j mended accordingly. * 4 Pursuant |o the proviiions of Public Law 490, 77th Congress 7 March 1942 a* amended, official report* will now be issued by the War Department whieh will indicate the actual date of hi* death a* that shown above. ^ "My continued sympathy is with I yon in the great lees you have sue* talned.
