Lt. William S. Winneshiek
USAAF 333rd Bomb Squadron
from:Lebanon, PA
My father, William S. Winneshiek, was stationed at Rougham during WWII. He was a B-17 pilot and his planes were Double Trouble and Bouncin' Bitch. He was flew with 8th Air Force, 3rd Air Division, 4th Combat Wing, 94th Bomb Group, Squadron 333.
We had a skeleton in the closet. After my father's death, my mother revealed to myself and my siblings that my father had an affair with a lady in Rougham. My oldest sister thinks her name was Michelin. My sisters and I are curious if there are any Winneshiek's over there? Of course their last name would not be Winneshiek, but we are wondering if we have a brother or sister from their relationship.
I am in process of writing a book on my father and his military ventures during WWII. The book will include information on my father's American Indian heritage, which he was ashamed of, as many Indians were from that era. My father and my siblings are enrolled members of the Ho-Chunk Nation. I want to "spice up" the story to include his affair with "Michelin." As I said, my oldest sister thinks this was her name and she is unsure of the spelling.
I have photograph of him from 1942. With the photo we're hoping someone with recognize him. In the photo, he is standing, far left. There's black mark above his head. Any other information you have on my father would be greatly appreciated.
