My son interviewed Alfeo Minato of the 720th as part of a Veterans Day school report. We thought we'd check out the website. Great pictures. Thank you all.

We just attended the Oklahoma City reunion of the 450th in October with my parents. My Dad, Jim Eichorst, was a nosegunner in Manduria. They showed your video at the meeting. It was very moving. We were all impressed with the work you had done. Is that video available for sale? I would love to give one to my Dad for Christmas, and to other family members. Thank you.

I think my father is the Stephen Jablonski, that you do not have any information on. I am going to find a copy of the history of the "cottontail" that he gave me many years ago to confirm.

I am the daughter of Harvey Rusco. My parents will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary Jan. 15, 2004. If anyone is trying to locate my father, eMail me for his address or phone number, or send me your info and I will have him contact you. I managed to find one of his buddies living in Texas and my brother drove my parents there to visit with him and his wife. My dad hadn't seen him for over 50 years. What a thrill it was to reunite after all that time.

I want to thank the Mark, the 'webmaster', for doing such a great job in updating all the information I've recently flooded him with about my Father, Arthur K Myers, and the Weichman crew. Please take a moment to view the site, and hopefully you will find it as interesting and informative. Would love to hear from anyone who knew my Father while he was copiloting/piloting in Manduria from July 1944 thru March of 1945. He was a member of the 721st Squaudron. God bless the Cottontails!

Hello...... no records of dads adventure other than his holy Joe patch and some pictures. I am dying to know more about what he did. I was told he was a tail gunner and flew out of North Africa. I have some pictures of him with some guys and there names are: Jack - Hale - Robbin - Mike and Gangi. Several pictures of a guy named Snorty or shorty Batzel Brindisi. Also a Sargent David M. Jack from Laguna Beach California. Hope someone knows these guys... I would really like to know what dad did. David Downer Dad: Alford E. Downer Jr. AKA Red
