Carl H Warheit was my Grandfathers Brother, he was 17 years of age at the time of his death, i would love to communicate with any one that has any stories to share about the Plane or anyone who has any pictures of this plane in the background or anything . I am planning on a trip to France to pay my respects to Carl and the other brave men burried there in France. Carl was the youngest of three brothers who served but he was the only one who did not return. War is known to change a man and my grandfather didn’t speak much of those times. Anyone who has anything to contribute to my research of my Grandfathers brother, or knows where i can find any stories i would be very appreciative.
Thank You ,M. warheit
