Message No. 278

Message:
I am a Master Sergeant in the USAF. I belong to the 319th Missile Squadron, which belongs to the 90 Space Wing. I work at a Minuteman III Missile Alert Facility (MAF)and I am creating some 90 BG/319 Bomb Squadron "history" walls there. I would appreciate any info, pics, articles that could be donated.

Specific items I am looking for: Which planes Balotsky and Manion flew. I am looking for pics of planes and crews for Sodpas Wabbit, Scorpion, and Hellazpoppin

I'm also trying to find the names of at least 5 319th planes that went down. I want to propose to our squadron that each of our 5 MAFs adopt one of these planes/crews in honor of their sacrifice.

Thanks

MSgt Lloyd (Greg)
