Just read your comment. Thank you. My uncle, Louis Eugene “Gene” Lonsway was a tail gunner on the Liberty Belle in the 549th Squadron of the 385th. My dad flew off carriers in the Pacific as an aviation radioman. He kept all of his brother’s letters and I have them. Great reading, and I am attempting to make a book out of it to tell their respective stories. My Uncle Gene survived the war and made a career of the Air Force. He passed in 1993. My father served at Leyte, Luzon, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He died in 2012.
My best regards,
Randy
