My first cousin, SSgt.Richard Emmett Chapman, 89th Attack Squdron, U.S. Army Air Corps., was killed in an A-20 air crash at Charters Towers, Australia on 09 August 1942. His aircraft was SN 40-79 which landed upside down, nose to nose, wing to wing on another A-20, SN 40-3162. These numbers are according to eye-witness, E. B. Smith, who answered my query to Mr. G. John Robinson of Austin, Texas who was the invesigating officer. My brother, Cpl. Wendell Emmett Morgan, 27th Bomb Gp (L), 91st Bomb Sq (L), was also trained as gunner on the A-20. He reached the Philippines in Nov. 1941 but their aircraft was diverted to Australia when the Japanese attacted the PI. He was captured and executed by the Imperial Army in June 1943. 01/03/2009 @ 19:47 [ref: 23413] |
| Bill Hill Moberly, MO | My namesake and cousin william Alexander "Bill Hill" was a Sgt. in the 9th Air Force, 409th Bomb Group, 643rd Bomb Squadron, USAAF in WWII. He was KIA when he went down with his fellow crewmates while in a Douglas A-20G Havoc, SN 43-9889. They crashed near Montgermont, France on July 9, 1944. This was 4 years before I was born so I never met him. I will never forget his sacrifice - wish I could have met him.
Thank you for preserving this aircraft information. 12/25/2007 @ 06:52 [ref: 19040] |

Found this info on the avation archaelogy web site. Came to this site to see what the A-20 was. 09/21/2007 @ 10:32 [ref: 17983] |
| Bill Gaynor Campbell, CA | Trying to reach Matt of Havelock, NC REF#7626.
Matt was looking for info on 86th Bomb Squadron, 47th Bombardment Group (Light)of the 12th Army Air Corp. My Dad was with them from the invasion of North Africa November 1942 through Italy May 1945, including his time stateside before and after. 03/09/2007 @ 07:04 [ref: 15829] |
| rick jones sunnyvale, CA | I have to wonder if the crew of Duke of Paducah (sp) knew my father - Richard Ernest (Dick) Jones, who happened to be in the 410th and was from Calloway County, KY.
As for the spec sheet(s) discovered, if not already, definitely make photo copies and consider contacting the National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian), perhaps Wright Patterson AFB (I think that is where the Air Force Museum happens to be) and/or RAF Duxford, whom I _think_ may actually have an A-20. 02/18/2007 @ 16:48 [ref: 15572] |
| maynard christopherson st. paul, MN | my uncle was a member of the 675thBS 417thBG and was shot down over NEI Ambon Island in a A-20G Havoc on Nov 1, 1944. Serial # 43-9399. His name was Henry or "Hank" Christopherson and was with a first Lt. Richard A Fraker from Broadalbin, New York. This took place on a attack over Nalong Seaplane base, would like to contact anyone that was with the 675thBS 417BG or if you know anything about Nalong Seaplane base. 12/08/2005 @ 16:01 [ref: 11914] |
