Howard Conlee, Mission April 6, 1943
The second raid was to Messina on the 6th. We went over the target at 6:00.P.M. and the raid vas highly successful. The target was the ferry ship. After we had passed over I looked down and all I could see in the target area was a mass of black smoke. The anti aircraft fire was heavy and one boy was killed.
Mission #18 Time 7:45 I saw six ME109's in the air after we had passed over the target but only three attacked us. We were in a good tight formation and they gave up the chase. My total combat time up to now is 161:15.
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.
