My dad, Henry “Gene” Maul was waist gunner on Laura Jane. Currently, I am restoring his POW Diary and adding more information to what he has already written. Happy to share what I have or learn more.

I am reviewing the diary of my great uncle, Harold Wilcox, who mentions losing “King” (this aircraft’s Pilot) and others on this day. I would be interested in seeing what else you have.
