Old War
Horse Guestbook Page |

Sadly, due
to the pressure of unwanted attention from commercial spammers, the War
Horse Guest Book was closed to new entries in May 2004 and taken down, but
the entries up to that date were saved and are displayed here out of respect
for the crew of the War Horse and all those visitors who placed legitimate
and welcomed entries in the book, plus, of course, Carl Hannon whose initial
idea the War Horse site was.
At the very bottom of this page there is a facility for downloading this
entire guest book in MS Word format for those who wish to do so.
If your interest in the War Horse
and the 385th Bomb Group extends to Photo Album CDs and DVDs about its men
and machines,
please click here to be

Your visit is appreciated.

WW11 was way before my time but I am a history buff. This
website helps the books I've read come alive. Thank all of
you veterans who sacrificed so much to keep this country
free and a very special thanks to my cousin, Carl Hannon for
being who he is and a friend to all. Carl, you're the best!! |

One more thing. My father saved a $1 silver certificate
called a short snorter which contained the names of 11 crew
members who crossed the Atlantic en route to their duty
stations I presume with the 385th BG. They arrived on
January 14th, 1944. Here are the names from the "Short
Snorter" as best I can decipher them. Karl A. Dittmer Robert
B. Graves Floyd A. Schumaker, Jr. Bruce F. Lowe Pat Sullivan
E. Townsend H. R. Dunnon C. R. Cragoe Louis Wm Hick Frank I.
Davidson, Jr. C. M. Mayor If anyone knows of the whereabouts
of any of these individuals I would be most appreciative to
hear back from you. Thanks, Steve Schobel |

His B-17, crew members, missions. I am putting together a

flew 30 combat missions and was awarded the DFC and other
medals. Thanks, Steve Schobel |

I have visited your website and the Mighty 8th museum. I
recently ran into Frank Murphy who said he wrote the book
"Luck of the Draw". I have not been able to locate it and
would like to know if you could provide a lead. I am ex Air
Force (TAC) and teach a graduate MBA course. I use the movie
12 O'Clock as example of different leadership styles. Great
job on your website! I was on several rotations to
Mildenhall, England and Frank said he just returned from a
speaking engagement there! Thanks, Patt Taylor

I am looking for former members of the 109th Observation
Squadron who served with me at Esler Field, near Alexandria,
Louisiana in 1942. We then moved to England in August of
1942. The first airfield we went to was at Atcham in England
and then on to Newbury. Our next stop was to a field near
Shrewsbury in Shropshire, England where we stayed for about
15 months. We were then moved to the South to prepare for
the invasion. While there, most of the unit was transferred
to Headquarters Squadron, 100th Fighter Wing which was part
of the 9th Air Force and was sent to France in June. I am
looking for members of the kitchen crew – Tommy Thompson,
Paul Tourville and Vic Trom who were all from Minnesota; Joe
O’Connell and Joe Catanzero who were from London, Ohio,
Leroy Kenworthy who was from Mooresville, Indiana, William
Ward who was from Brooklyn, NY and married a girl from
Shrewsbury and stayed over there and John Wagner (I don’t
remember where he was from). |

I joined the Royal Air Force in September, 1940, and trained
as a navigator. Flew in the Halifax and Lancaster bombers of
RAF Squadron 103, Elsham Wolds,
Lincolnshire, England. We were shot down the night of
March 9/10, 1043. My third POW camp was Stalag 357 at
Fallingbostel in 1944. When the air-raid syrens sounded, we
would go outside and lie on our backs on the ground and
watch - and cheer - the hundreds of 'silver birds' (B-17s)
flying overhead in perfect formation. The cheering of 5,000
British and Commonwealth airmen got to the Germans after a
while, so they made us stay inside our wooden barracks, for
our safety - so they said! In my book "Death on Dark Wings"
(a biography) published in 1973, this is mentioned. I am
currently writing an autobiography, in which I say what a
great boost it was to our morale to see those Flying
Fortresses dominating the daylight skies over the German
hinterland. I would love to put a photo of a B-17 in my
book. Better still, a photo of format |

I really like this site. I'm very interested in WW II
history, especially B17s. I hope to one day get to ride
along for a flight in one. God bless all who served aboard
them, those in support on the ground, and those who have
answered the call each time freedom has been threatened in
our great country. |

Just found your website. Great. I was a ballturret gunner in
the 384th 547 Squadron flying 35 missions between the dates
of Aug, 4, 1944 to Dec. 11,1944.
I am sure you guys in the 385th were out there on some
targets we were hitting. Our crew
reunited for years and still do with the 4 guys left.
The 384th has a fine web site. Come take a look sometime. |

Having watched a programme about the battle of Britain, I
was humbled to hear a Spitfire pilot say that he didn't want
thanks, he just wanted to be
remembered. To all the American veterans of WW2 we will
remember you. Even so, I still must thank you for the life
that I live. YOUR SPIRITS GRACE
GREAT ASHFIELD FOR ALL TIME. |

im
28 years old and have always admired the brave young men
(younger than me!) that risked their lives in the skies
above europe. my city was a base
for the spitfire aircraft and there is still alot of
infomation on the aircraft in the city there is also the
first spitty ever made by r j michtell. but my upmost
respect goes to the aircrews of the b-17 bombers (i wonder
how many young men of today would be so willing to risk
their lives to fight in a war) my grandad told me many
stories of the sorties from biggin hill in england. god
bless you all |

I was trying to find the dimensions of this A/C to see if it
would fit into our paint bay as we may have a chance to
refurb one of these planes. Very impressive website. |

I was around 6 years old when you guys were flying over my
head to go over Germany, and fight Hitler's troops that were
holding my POW father in some "oflag". I was mentally
thanking any aircraft flying above my head, and sometimes it
took me quite a lot of time, as you guys were numerous. I
will never tell enough how much I am grateful for your help. |

i
was a young boy during the war, born in 1934, stowmarket was
surrouded by airfields, us and raf. can
remember the thousand bomber raids, seeing all the aircraft
gaining altitude and then flying east.
very exciting time for us boys.
used to go to rattlesden wattisham, remember b17,
p38, p47 p51. we roam miles to
see the aircraft, wnet to ashfield more than once.
its a wonder we learnt aynthing
at school, we were either in the shelters or gazing out the
windows at the aircraft. the
american forces laid on plenty of partys for the local
children. remember one quite
vividly, he was a champion diver, he used to treat us to all
his tricks. one day late in the war i was up popular hill in
stowmarket when this american drove past, suddenly the
tailgate fell down and this box smashed onto the road, it
was full of tins of dried milk, we picked up and many as we
could and scurried home. |
