Hello. My name is Jim Geraghty. My father is listed as the RO on thus airship on the day she was SHIT down. There is also other information that Suzy Sag Titz was a loaner that day for this crew. I’d be interested in speaking to you. My mobile phone is +12035458686. Please feel free to call anytime. Thank. Jim. Geraghty524@optimum.net

Dear Mister Geraghty,
Stichting Luchtoorlog Onderzoek Drenthe, is a world war two air war research foundation.
Some years ago we startet our project Lost Wings, within this project we placed over 20 information panels close to crash locations in our area.
One of these crash locations is that of your fathers B-17, the B-17G Flying Fortress 42-31135 ‘Suzy Sag Tits’.
