This is really awesome, I often google random things when I’m bored. My grandmother’s brother came to mind because I had just seen a thing on ball turret gunners. Roger William Morgan was him, that was the plane he was on, it was supposed to be his last deployment. According to Mema, he settled alot of business beforehand because he had a feeling he wasn’t coming back.

I just had a visit from Mark Howard whose mother was first cousin to Clyde Harrell Bryant. He had a wealth of information on Harrell and I shared photos, stories and medals of Harrell with him. His email is mhoward13@cox.net. Lots of unanswered questions but he speculated that the fully fueled and loaded 17 could have lost an engine and became uncontrollable in a particular attitude? Feel free to contact me or Mark.
