MARY CRANE wrote on December 3, 2005 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My brother-in-law, Alvin Earl Crane (Sonny) AO-1903066 was assigned to the 6148th Tactical Recon Squadron. He was the pilot of a LT 6G and was accompanied by Army Sgt. Gordon Zorn. Sgt. Zorns body was recovered soon after the plane went down. Sonny was reported Missing in Action September 13, 1951. In 1990 the North Koreans conducted their own unilateral recovery on their side of the Demilitarized Zone near Tosan. The remains were returned to the U. S. On August 22, 2005 JPAC completed its analysis and determined the remains were those of 1st Lt. Crane. In May of 2006 my husband Art will fly to Hawaii to bring Sonny home. The service is to be held on May 13 at 1PM at Santa Rosa Memorial Park, California. The Air Force will conduct a military service including honors and flyover. There is a possibility of a second flyover by a T-6 Unit in the Sonoma County area. If you knew Sonny or if you would like to attend the service, please contact me for further information.
