MY UNCLE IS VELGENE CATES ARMY AIR FORCE AND WAS A CO-PILOT OF A B-29 (I THINK) HIS PLANE WENT DOWN OVER GERMANY (THEY WERE ATTACKING THE INDUSTRIAL AREA AND GERMANY WAS PREPARED) HIS PLANE WENT DOWN 7-24-43, VERY FEW PLANES CAME BACK FROM THAT MISSION....HE HAS A PLOT IN BELGUIM BUT I DONT THINK HE WAS EVER FOUND...

MY DAD WAS ALSO A WWII VETEREN A FIGHTER PILOT WITH THE USMC...HE DIDNT TALK ABOUT THE WAR MUCH...SO AFTER HIS PASSING IN 1999, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY UNCLE AND MY DAD...

I JUST WISH I HAD ASKED MY DAD ABOUT ALL THIS BUT HE DIDNT LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE WAR...

Comments: Looking for any friends of my father who flew on bombing missions to Korea out of Japan. Dad said that he had to bail out of a B-29 that stalled after being called back from a mission with a full load. Dad was stationed out of Fairchild AFB and flew with the 326th Bomb Squadron. Dad passed on 1975

Thanks

Comments: Hello,

My father's name was Paul R. Martinson. He was a member of the 326th Bomb Squadron, 92nd Bomb Wing.

Not sure when he served (I was an accident...not born until 1962), just have a newspaper article concerning the "First B-36 Hops to the Philippines".

I was hoping to find someone who knew my father. He passed away in April of 1999 and I'm still reeling from the loss...just hoping that someone out there might have known him.

God bless America,

Don
