My dad was Henry Young he was ball turret gunner. We lost him March 1983. Would love to hear from anyone that flew on, or family of crew of 4231799. Dad talked very little of his experience, he did evade capture and returned to friendlies in Sept. of 44.

We have news about Henry Young. He was living in our city on 1944. We know the family of hospitality and we know the story of his feats. We want to write a newspaper article about him.
