Hi Pat, No suspects yet. With the fuzziness of 8010, it would be difficult to spot any of the interesting physical attributes described by...
Rather than further extend the two Keokuk-related topics, I'm starting a new one as a home for scattered Keokuk info. F/O Harold O. Axelson,...
Pat, did the 90ID video indicate the date it was shot? The 90th's June AAR states for June 8: "By midnight, all foot elements had closed into...
Several comments to make, thanks to Alane's labors: 1. F/O Sims (Chalk #9) says the crews of the other three gliders in his "group" were all...
Some great work there, Alane. I had only seen a few internet preview pages of the glider pilots book, so thanks. Does the author say these...
Nice work, Kevin. I appreciate Randy making the letter available. Good to see Alane join us. Sgt. Kenneth F. Gamble appears on the Chalk #5...
Does the still photo have '192609' grease pencilled on to the lower right corner?
Several comments, Pat: 1. 1073 is pretty fuzzy - plus it was snapped close to high noon GMT (so the shadows are at their shortest) - but I'd...
Good work, Detective Kevin. When no new sources appear, it's time to tease out some more info from what's already established. Here's a couple of...
Marshall's official history (<i>REGIMENTAL UNIT STUDY NUMBER 3, 506 PARACHUTE INFANTRY REGIMENT IN NORMANDY DROP</i>) was compiled sometime before...
It wasn't exactly a blinding flash, but a likely answer came to me today. Kinda fits into the 'if all else fails, read the instructions' category....
Here's an account by Sam Gibbons, 501 PIR HQ, describing the arrival of Mission Keokuk. It was written no earlier than the '80s. Gibbons served in...
How about some speculation beyond my usual strict (ahem) standards? Pat, there is one unusual feature of your new Horsa tail photo: note how...
Down the page is a modern photo of the location of one of Lage's images as presented on Bando's website:...
Not much to work with, but best guess is the shadows cast on the GI in the foreground and the guy behind him show the sun pretty high - so Horsa...
All that patience you developed in putting up with me is coming in handy. Christmas morning will eventually come.
The key feature in the photo is the west side of the road. Note the shadow cast into the road in the area directly west of the fuselage. At this...
Looking at the shadows cast, I would say: Photo #1, the intact Waco left wing view - not much to work with, but my best guess is the wingtip is...
Great work you two. Looks like roughly 1600 GMT (maybe +/- 1 hour or so). Parachutes are all picked up by TARA 8010 on afternoon of June 12....
Wow! This is quite a Brain Trust that has assembled to look for Keokuk answers. Thanks to all. Hans, your point is well taken. Always worth...
