Disse 2 fotos blev sendt fra Raoul A. de Mars Jr til www.airmen.dk i februar og april 2009. Uddrag fra hans emails:
"Min far Raoul A. de Mars var andenpilot på flyet B 17G 42-3535 som mavelandede nær Varpelev 11/4 1944.
Han fløj senere Grumman SA16 under Koreakrigen. Han sagde, det var hans yndlingsfly (fløj ud og reddede flyvere, der var
kommet ned over havet). Min far gik bort i 2004 og var altid taknemlig over for dine landsmænd, der hjalp dem under deres flugt."
