Hi Jeanette,
I would LOVE to connect off-line. Are you on Facebook? If you are, please send a friend request, if you would. (I didn’t have your last name, and I’m not sure if you go by your dad’s last name?) Thanks so much! Diane

I am the Niece of P Guiteras
Here are some reports: „The fighters were now hitting us with everything they had. Suddenly a B-17 that had been hit loomed over and in front of us. Our Pilot swung clear. We were then hit by flak or a rocket, setting our hydraulic and oxygen systems ablaze.“
They may have been hit by debris of another B-17
You must be son of Sgt Thomas Kelly?
