[303rd-Talk] POW Sketch

[Diana Buchalski]

My uncle Raymond Gilstrap was on that plane that was shot down. He lost his arm and was a pow. I would like to see the picture you are talking about.

Florida and sounds great, but he was not an artist. As a side note, 
my dad wrote that he knew Eich and some others who were shot down on 
11 Jan 1944 (mission 98) to Oschersleben. Eich does not remember my 
father now. POWs had a totally different war experience. It is very 
interesting to talk with them. I think the first 303rd POW I spoke 
with was my dear friend Bill Dallas, who is one of us here.
