My father grew up in Exeter just east of Visalia. He worked at Sequoia Field just before entering aviation cadet training in March 1942. He was a first pilot in the 381st bomb group flying out of Ridgewell, Essex, England. He and his crew were shot down over Bremen, Germany on 20 December 1943 and spent 16 months in German prison camps. He is on one of the murals in Exeter honoring Exeter???s veterans.

I'm wondering if Mr. Nethaway knew Bert Frame who was also in the CBI flying with the 9th PRS and was killed on January 31st, 1945? Bert was my Uncle (I was born in 1948) and all I ever knew about him was he was killed "in India". Recently I've come across some information about how he died and what squadron he was in. Tks. Dan Frame.
