From Roger Hoyer: I have been searching for my cousin Edward G. (Jack) Krause in WWI. He was in both the 8th & 9th USAAFs. The only thing I have found in a couple of years of searching is the "February 1944 USAAF Overseas Accident Reports". What I have gleaned from that report is that he had a landing accident at Greencastle/Sta 237, Ireland on 440201. He was flying a Douglas Havoc II Light Attack Bomber, S/N AH433, Sqdr 4GTTF. He was in the 8th Air Force at the time.
