My uncle was Capt. Thomas Bolton McCormick on the Sad Sack. I never met him since I was born in 1948, but my dad Nathan McCormick always said that I reminded him of his brother Tommy. If anyone has any info on the crew or my uncle, please email me.

Doyce Hamrick was on the same plane as my uncle when they were shot down on November 23 1942. I have most of the crews pictures but I cannot locate one for Doyce. It would be good to have a picture with the memorials.
