I am LTC(ret) Herman P. Valentine, namesake and nephew of SGT Herman J. Valentine, the Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner on Strictly G.I. I have been researching my uncle and the loss of his aircraft and crew since I was a child and would greatly appreciate any and all info available! I would also be happy to share any and all info that I may have with your organization.
Thank you!
