My grandfather, Francis Dennis "Nooks" Landre was the Co-Pilot on the B-24 aircraft. His only child, my father was only 2 years old when his Nooks died. I have no further information about the plane's whereabouts in the Coral Sea, but I just wanted to get in contact with other relatives of the 12 men aboard that plane to share any information that may be available. I have a box full of letters from my grandfather sent to my grandmother that I've only begun to look through. If I find mention of Charles Struck, I would be happy to share it. You mentioned that the B-24 was "shot down." In my research, I have not seen any mention of that. According to the following site, after takeoff this B-24 was not sighted or contacted again. <br /><br />http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-24/42-40814.html<br /><br />One bit of information that I would like to know is the purpose of their mission. Why were two crew and 11 passengers going to Brisbane, Australia? <br /><br />I read that Charles Struck was originally from Wisconsin? Is that true? Where? <br /><br />Please have Linda contact me at Landre.michael@gmail.com<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Michael Landre<br />Michael Landrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301926185781729727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1149270460100670212006-06-02T10:47:00.000-07:002006-06-02T10:47:00.000-07:00I agree with Pamala.Anon obviously thinks that the...I agree with Pamala.<BR/><BR/>Anon obviously thinks that the group of people who "Hate women, Hate Jews, and Hate freedom" are somehow less of a threat than Hitler.<BR/><BR/>Both want to take over the world, and those who appease, will be the first to be beheaded because they are preceived as spineless.<BR/><BR/>Their stated goal is to have a "One World Government" with their Imams at it's head.<BR/><BR/>Now why would anybody think that they were a threat at all?<BR/><BR/><BR/>FAR.Free Agency Ruleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921822140156223630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1149029173087405512006-05-30T15:46:00.000-07:002006-05-30T15:46:00.000-07:00Um, no Pamela.

It is you older people who didn't fight and now no longer have to fight that support this idiotic war in Iraq. To compare Iraq to the real threat from Nazi Germany is intellectually dishonest.
