I am a nephew of 1LT Louis C. Renoult, the Navigator. I would like to get in touch with the children/ grandchildren/ nieces/ nephews, etc of the other crew members. I look forward to sharing information about these courageous, superb men!

Hi Mark. My father, John A. Koehler was Louis’ cousin. Louis’ mother, Alma Koehler Renoult, was my dad’s aunt. I have info on the last flight of the Gal o’ my Dreams that I got from the National Archives. I’d be happy to share. I have also been looking for any nose art or photos of the plane, with no success. Look forward to hearing from you. Don

Hi Mark and Don. Albert Rosa – the tail gunner – was my great uncle. I have a copy of the MACR. Happy to share any info.
