John Bielecki, I would like to be in touch with you. I suggested to Fold3 crew project for the 10 crew of Charles Pinning. My research buddy, who does Fold3 pages for the fallen did an excellent job, updating the pages for your uncles crew. I have contact information for two other nephews for Vincent White, and Bill Howard through Jody at 91BGMA. In touch with Vincent who is uncle was also named Vincent White his name sake. Check out your uncles Fold3 page. If you can find me through Find a Grave, I will leave a virtual flower on your uncles page. If you’re in touch with Jody or VJ White, she also has my contact info. You can also find me in mini Facebook groups related to B-17 and 8th Air Force if you search group for my name.
my connection was through the bombardier Albert Lewis Rolnick who was replaced by Dale Engell 15 minutes before takeoff on October 9. Albert was killed in a crash a month later on November 10, 1943. I’m involved with a permanent memorial project to be commemorated on November 10 in England. Also, the pilot of that tragic crash Arthur J Reynolds was with 91 BG before his 482 BG pathfinder assignment.
Kind regards

please forgive me Ms Rust for alling you a sir instead of ma’am. I was abandoned when I was 13 so I do not know a lot about my family. I was just trying to discover some facts and you supplied me with the information I needed.
Thank you kindly
John Bielecki

I’m actually the great grandson of Vincent white, and I’d be quite interested in some info about him. More particularly the plane and what exactly their nose art was.

Hi Elias, Would you like to email or message on messenger? I wrote an email and realized it was a notification from this website and not actually you emailing me. It’s lengthy and informative and ready to resend.
Send me private messenger via this Facebook profile or send me your email.
Who is your grandfather? I told Vincent “Vinnie” White about your message here. Wondering how you two are related.:-) Send me a message here if you send me a Messenger so I know to check my other inbox. Best regards.
