looking for Family/Relatives of Thaddeus s. Nocek
i realize this is not Nocek but it's the closest name on here:
Hi All: I'm working on a family history project about my Great Uncle William S. Clarke who
was an Engineer on a B-24 named "Red Hot Riding Hood" which was lost with all hands
on Oct 9, 1944 on the Yangtze river during a mine laying operation. Thaddeus S. Nocek
was one of the Gunner's on the plane, and I would like to exchange information with any family or
friends who knew him. All I have on him is that his Father John Nocek was living
at West twenty third place in Chicago, Claire or Ciscero IL(it's hard to tell blurry address)
at the time the plane was lost. The plane was part of the 374th BS,
308 BG, which was all part of the 14th AF. It was mainly doing night mining ops, and
went on occasional raids during the day. I have lots of information as I have located
the widow of the navigator,Wayne Schlentz, and she has been nice enough to share
his diary with me-
Thx for any help in advance!!
