Adg105200 Posted May 22, 2018 Share #26 Posted May 22, 2018 Amazing and outstanding! It must be an honor to have such a historical item in your care. Is there any survivors of the raid yet? As of last August there was still one upright silver goblet. (National Air Force Museum in Ohio) Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share #27 Posted May 23, 2018 Another of the Doolittle Raider with tie to Ft Wayne Indiana was Robert Clever from Ted Larsons #7 plane the Ruptured Duck. Clever was stationed at Baer Field Army Airbase in Nov. !942 when he was killed in an accident by Versailles Ohio. Caseloadr, You are absolutely correct about Clever. I have a copy of the accident investigation report but its been years since I read through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Doolittle's co-pilot, LTC Richard Cole, is still with us. IIRC, he was at SOS last February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I requested a copy of the crash report. It is sad and a little surprising to me how many of the raiders, after the raid, were killed, wounded, or captured.
