Hello James, we adopted the name of William J Golden on the Walls of the Missing at the American Cemetery in Margraten the Netherlands. We also visited the grave of John M Perrit in Belgium. I have a lot of information about the plane and the crew. If you are interested, please let me know! Kind regards, Angelique

My great Uncle Frank Rolfe was a navigator on the Rambling rebel. All my family has passed away and I’m trying to gather info. I do have a photo of the group in front of the plane that I would love to share.
