After putting up the post yesterday on the B-17 "Casper Kid", I realized I hadn't posted these photos of the marker for the B-24 that went down in Natrona County in 1945. I took the photos a year ago.
I've been aware of this wreck my entire life, although apparently the location was regarded as lost. Only recently has this memorial been put up.
As with the Casper Kid, it's good to see the plane and its crew remembered. Men who gave their lives for their country, but not in the way the expected. In this case, they went down in the dead of winter and the conditions were so severe that there was little that could be done to attempt to rescue them. All perished.
