“Only One Bomber Lost” |
(Continued from Page One)
Received your letter about our
sons missing. Our boy was also
reported missing and it’s such a
terrible thing I don’t know what to
do. We have hope they are all
alive, but maybe were interned
somewhere or are prisoners of war.
I have quite a lot of details on that
bombing raid. Wish I had another
copy, I'd send it to you. It said
we lost 26 bombers. There were
no enemy fighters, but heavy anti-
aircraft fire, and the Swiss dis-
patches reported that Swiss fighters
forced down nine bombers and an-
‘ other made a crash landing. I re-
member the radio gave the details
and I always figured that was the
raid our boys were in. It said some
also landed in Sweden, so if that’s
true, there were only 26 bombers
in all—10 in Switzerland—and that
would leave 16 bombers and if some
are in Sweden, we can feel sure all
the rest weren't killed. So we do
have high hopes they are O. K. and
I trust God has protected them in
time of trouble. He is the only
one that has the power to save
them from harm.
My son in the Navy has gone
through Hell and he said although
they were shot at he never was
hurt and he thanked God for His
great protection. He was in all
the invasions of Italy, then in
France. He is on a L. S. T. and is
only 19 years old. He was only 18
when in the first invasion.
I also have a son that has gone
through all the tank battles in Italy
and never has been hurt—thanks
to God again. He is a tank driver.
My other son was 29 months in
the Aleutians in Alaska. Guess I,
didn’t spell that right but you will
know. So you see I have a lot to
have been easy to give up and die.
But I have such a strong feeling my
boy hasn't gone that I got well as
quickly as I got sick. So I think
God has shown me that my son
is O. K. and if he is, so is yours.
So let's not give up. I trust if
we. all pray to God, He will bring
our loved ones back, and I hope it
won't be too long before we get
good news. .
Will close and if I get any word
I'll write again and hope you will
do the same. I would have written
to you, but I lost all the addresses
of the boys’ parents, so I couldn’t
write. I heard from Mr. Parker,
also.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Thomas Petrie.
P. S. If you would like a copy
about that air battle, I'll have it
typed and mailed to you. The raid
was over Munich and there were
1200 bombers and 750 fighters.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Stanley L. Culp:
Thank you for your letter of Aug-
ust 1st. My reply is delayed be-
cause I was out of town.
Like your son, Herbert, my son,
John, is also listed as “missing in
action.” Rather regretfully, I must
tell you I know nothing as yet.
Please be assured that whatever
I learn I shall be glad to advise you
immediately and that I am moving
everything possible to learn the
boys’ whereabouts.
What you said about your son’s
deep interest and affection for his
crew is well known to us. ‘My son,
John, regarded him as the best in
leadership and airmanship and was
only too happy to serve under his
command.
It is our fond hope this leadership
worry about, but this was such a
shock it made me so sick it would
came to the fore on their mission

Mr. Morrison’s Second Letter
Barre, Vermont,
August 11,
5P. M.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Culp:
We received late last evening a
very authentic message from the
Adjutant General of the War De-
partment, stating that they had just
received a report from the Interna-
tional Red Cross, that our son, 2nd
Lieut. Norman J. Morrison, Jr., is
now a prisoner of war of the Ger-
man government, and that letter
of further information would follow.
As you will know, this was “very
heartening news” to us, and even
though a prisoner it is such a relief
to know that he is alive and all
right, as was reported in that short
wave message received on July
27th, and which I quoted in my
previous letter.
I suspect the whole crew are now
German prisoners, and that you
have or soon will be receiving a
similar message from Washington.
While we know that this situa-
tion will be quite a keen disap-
pointment to our boys who were
keen to “do things” at this time, it
gives us parents a bit different feel-
ing in knowing that they are out of
flying and its hazards for a few
months, and a feeling of relief in
this. They have done their best
to carry on, and have been un-
fortunate in this operation, and
quite frankly, I feel a great relief
in this turn of affairs, when things
surely could have been much more |
devastating.
And can now expect to corres-
pond with, and send them packages
of whatever their immediate needs
may be, upon definite information
of their postal addresses, which will
be a great pleasure.
Very sincerely yours,
Norman J. Morrison, Sr.

been officially notified by the Adju-
tant General, so my hands are final-
ly freed.
My hopes and beliefs are that
your son, Herbert, is alive and well;
that is, you understand, my per-
sonal opinion. The plane went
down due to mechanical trouble,
but it had not been subjected to
any type of enemy action. Reliable
eye witnesses have told me that the
ship was under perfect control
when last seen, and six men have
reported seeing eight parachutes
come from the plane. One gunner
reports having seen ten chutes,
which would account for every one
on board. It is my personal con-
viction from compiled reports, that
all on board safely bailed out over
enemy territory.
Their position at bail out was
such that the chances of reaching
neutral territory were excellent. It
is my sincere hope that everyone
did so.
I was co-pilot of the crew, but
ground duties kept me from flying
that day. Those men were my
working companions for six months.
May this letter be oft some help and
encouragement to the parents of
a fine man.
Extending my doonnt sympathy,
I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Lt. Kenneth H. Dellow.
