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."

was the co-pilot on this flight
B 17G 42-3535 which belly landed near Varpelev 11/4 1944.
He later flew
Grumman SA16s

My father passed away in 2004 and was always
grateful to your
countrymen that aided them in their escape."
