BINGO. Got a hit. There is an I.E. Biggs listed (496 squadron) of Silbee
Texas. Now I gota check where and how he is now. Get back to you. I dont
want
post his address but if you want it lemme know and I will e-mail it to you.


That's gotta be the guy. I sincerely hope his health has improved since the
last time I saw him in San Marcos.

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.



I'll check with the 344th bomb group Association and see what I can find. I
never really knew Biggs since he flew with the 496th and I flew with the 494th
squadron. We occupied opposite sides of the airfield and my only chance to meet
him would have been in the pre- mission morning briefings.. Do you know what
his MOS was; pilot, bombardier or gunner? The search goes on.
