Dear Gentle People,
I received the following email from JPAC this evening. You are all people, whom has helped with this research to date and as I promised, the purpose of this email is to let you know, the next step has begun.

Gunter,
Freeman died a year or so ago. However, his reputation is such, that anything in his books become references in another after another. I have had nasty letters, when some called’ historians see that I do not use the miss-information in my books. Hell, I had to fight with our National Archives and the US Air Force Historical Research Agency about the identity of the B-24 that crashed at Tincourt-Boucly. Finally, when I had a-hold of their nuts and short hairs, with in depth proof that all of their documents were wrong and I was right, did they agree, I was right.

Willis S. Cole, Jr., known to most as “Sam,” has a life-long interest in military history. For more than sixteen years Sam has been intensely researching the crashes of two American World War Two bombers in France.
One, the “Lady Jeannette,” is a dual Congressional Medal of Honor B-17G, that crashed on November 1944, the other is a Top-Secret B-24J, flying a Top-Secret night mission while attached to the RAF, that crashed in the early morning of 10 November 1944.
In 1997, Sam wrote the nonfiction military history book, “The Last Flight of The Lady Jeannette,” about the dual Congressional Medal of Honor, B-17G, “Lady Jeannette.”
Using available official records, hundreds of interviews with survivors, the French in the area where the B-17G supposedly crashed, the
families of those who died in the crash, and the families of those who survived and had later died. The book proved the “Lady Jeannette” had crashed near Tincourt-Boucly, in the Department of the Somme, France.
In the summer of 1998, with newly acquired physical evidence from the supposed “Lady Jeannette” crash-site, Sam then began to prove all the official records, except for the Graves Registration records for the dead were false. And even those records were somewhat false, with two of those GR records showing they had been tampered with, after their creation. As the new evidence prove beyond dispute, two American bombers were now involved, the “Lady Jeannette”, that had crashed at another, unknown, location, and a newly discovered B-24.
In due time the Air Force Historical Research Agency, the Air Force, the National Archives and open-minded military historians had to agree the “Lady Jeannette” did not crash where the false official records state she had crashed. In fact, it was the newly identified Top-Secret B-24J, shot down by American “Friendly-Fire,” that did crash at that location.
