Howard Conlee, Mission Jan. 11, 1943
Mission #14 Time 3:30 (January 11, 1943)
This was to be my first raid with Capt. Oglesby. We blew out a tire while preparing to take off and were unable to go on the mission. This mission had very bad luck - we lost two out of the eight ships that went over the target. Their guns froze up and a Folke Wulfe 190 shot them down in flames. It is thought that one man out of the seventeen aboard escaped. Among them were Lt. Col Payne (I flew with him awhile), Sgt. Gotham ~ (he came over with our gang).
The website 376bg.org is NOT our site nor is it our endowment fund.
At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.
Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.
