Greetings from my Uncle Milton
Courtright a B-26 pilot. He completed 72 missions including the
first attack at Normandy on D-Day, V-2 sites, rail yards and a
rail bridge at Oiessel (7/27/1944) for which he received the Distinguished
Flying Cross for bringing his wounded crew and wounded plane (lost
one engine) back. He was stationed at Stansted Air Field with
the 344th Bomb Group, 495 Squadron during 1944. His plane was
MA's Blasted Event with the nose art of a stork with a sling and
bomb. He has given an oral history and his leather flight jacket
to the Univ. of Akron... Uncle Milton says hello to his crew and
adds that hearing from some other B-26ers would be nice. His address
is 119 Catalpa Drive, Horseheads NY 14845. I would like to add
my thanks to the people of Baltimore for constructing a great
plane and to all the ground crews and people that helped to keep
him flying. Yours truly, Anson Courtright court@net1plus Anson
