Publications on the crew of B-17 # 42-3436
While working on the MIA case of Donald Paul Breeden, the search for photo’s for ‘Faces of Margraten’ and information on Breeden and his fellow crew members, questions to tell about it rose.
So publications beside my own web pages were both ‘unavoidable’ and turned out very helpful.
Here the list of where and when publications were and written by whom.
Most recent publication
On Veterans Day 2018 an article on the cause and unveiling of the memorial in Eygelshoven was featured in the Minot Daily News. How special to know that not only FB-groups on WWII read about all this. Makes me very happy.
Thank you JoAnn Linrud!

Back to the story I started to find out why and how Donald Paul Breeden could get missing.
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the Kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
R. Kipling
