Relatives
William E. McKee adds:
"Lt Jones wife Sue is still alive and well in Missouri.his daughter lives in Colorado and I have known of this loss since I was 5 years old and would like to know what happened to them. I have looked through the history of the 13th AF, 42nd GB. 69 BS and the 100th BS. These were all experienced people and not the kind to panic there were three lead pilots and the navigator was the 69th lead navigator."

Paul Orlando (Lt. Armata cousin)
