SSgt Ivan L Schraeder was my mom’s uncle. This was his 2nd time shot down. the first was in “Wee Bonnie”. Thank you for posting this info! I am doing my best to find and share everything I can about him with my family. If I can find his photos here I hope to post them to sights for others that may have interest in them too. I welcome any leads on info about him, his crew and plains. I have several tail numbers of them but few photos.
