210129 Flt/Officer Max Gillespie United States Air Force My mother is trying to trace any details about a USAF/USAAF serviceman visiting or posted to South Norfolk/Suffolk in 1944. He met up with Bettina Dann and the result was my mother, born in January 1945. All we have is his name "Max Gillespie", that he was supposed to be a USAF officer who came to see her lots after her birth, but was then killed on his way home.
We found and traced a Max S. Gillespie, but he was never posted to the UK, so now we are lost. We have 1 picture, supposedly of him, in front of USAAF plane number 42-97110 that crashed in June 1944 in Wharton, but no way to link that plane either to Max or to Norfolk/Suffolk.
Really, really at a loss now, so any suggestion of what to do would be fab.
