B-17 Going Down In Flames

Mrs Gertrude Tompkins Silver of the WASP.  In 1944, she took off from Los Angeles in a new North American P-51D Mustang fighter, on a mission to deliver it to a location in New Jersey.  She never completed that mission.  There is some contemporary witness evidence to suggest that she crashed into the sea shortly after take-off as a result of a malfunction in the aircraft.  However, searches at the time failed to locate the aeroplane or its pilot.  In recent times the search has been renewed; I hope for her family that it may yet prove successful.  Gertrude Tompkins Silver had married just one month before what was, almost certainly, the day of her death.  She was 32 years old.  Rest in Peace.  Best regards, JR.

Aerial recon 'photo of St. Vith, a key strategic location in the Battle of the Bulge, December/January, 1944/'45.  Such a small place - such great bloodshed.  Best regards, JR.
