Winfred A. Garmon, Avengers Class 44-B, Moore Field, Mission, TX, Third Fighter Squadron, H Flight: This has been a wonderful experience to be able to see this publication. A Find-A-Grave member, "Patootie," had posted a photo of my great-uncle Winfred A. Garmon on the Find-A-Grave website. Our family had not seen this photo. Patootie kindly directed me to this site as his resource for the photo.
Winfred was piloting a P-38 Lightning and went down on a bomber escort mission (flying out of Vincenzo AB, Italy) over Germany on January 8, 1945, as detailed in MACR 10941. An additional report from the NARA archives titled "WAGarmon_7062634_Box442_FolderME2720" contains information on personal effects recovered and a German narrative of the incident translated as follows by my cousins in Germany:
"Air Force Station Command A(o) 35/VII To transit camp Oberursel
Information on sent Items:
On January 8th, 1945 at 11:45 a.m. a burning Lightning crashed into a field and completely burned 500 meters north of Deindorf near Julbach (Simbach/Inn). The pilot tried pulling up the air craft close to impact and fatally crashed with a half opened parachute. He was buried on January 9th, 1945, in Julbach. Identity papers and pieces of equipment were sent via courier to Dulag Oberursel on January 12th, 1945. The whereabouts of the second crew member are unknown."
