    Questions to Answer

    Not sure what to say in your introduction? Think of it as a way for us to get to know you and understand where you are coming from. Here are some pointers and questions to answer if you are having trouble.

    1. Your Name: Michael Keith (Mike)
    2. Age: 56 (most of my life)
    3. Origins: New Florence MO
    4. Specifics: B-29 operations, Specifically Wady's Wagon
    5. Hobbies: Ham Radio and the Air Force Museum
    6. Other: Air Force History
    7. Miscellaneous: Retired Air Force

    Found the thread with the first flight of the B-29 Waddy's Wagon on the site here. in the past I've seen a Color clip of the Aircraft and more footage of it taxiing. Unfortunately it was in pre DVR days and I was not able to copy it. If anyone has it I would like it for the family archives. There have been members of our family in the Air force From Frank Jr (John Ellis) Right up to today with my son still in at 15 years. I've had Uncles and both father and Step father as well as my wife and I both did our 20, so yo might say it runs in the blood.

    Hi Mike and Welcome,
    Looking forward to your posts. We'd be interested in any History on the 62nd you would be willing to pass along. Another great P-47 group from WW2!

    Hi Mike!

    My grandmother's brother was LL Lee, the CFC gunner. I'd love to talk to you about the search you've had for info. My mom is the source for 99% of the information out there, since she started searching for info on this in 1978.

    I have all sorts of photos and info I can share. I'm also in contact with 5 other families on the crew. We've been wondering if there were any of the Ellis's still around!

    Michael.

    mjmikelson at g mail will suffice.
