Stamos-Lisbon Project
Thanks to Susan Stamos work on the project has started.
1. A hard copy print out of all relevant documents collected to date has begun.
2. 1LT Alfred W. Foisy, 20th ATC Navigator has been apparently located. Communication
with Mr. Foisy will start ASAP.
3. A request for the 04 August 43 MACR will be forwarded to commercial vendor post haste.
4. An examination of NARA-II records is a must. I'm not sure I have all of the facts.
5. A request for the aircraft (B-24-D-100-CO-42-40801) IRC has been forwarded to USASM.
6. The 93rd BG website history file does not support the notion that an order was issued by that organization for the 04 August 43 flight. A review of May 2005 correspondence supports the 93rd BG website statement. 40801 was previously assigned to 328th BS, 93rd BG prior to the 04 August 43 flight.
7. The disposition of the American Legation-Lisbon MLO Officer B.G. (then Col.) Stephen O. Fuqua, Jr. has been assertained. He died in 1998 and is buired at USMA at West Point.
8. The disposition of "Col. Pons" and Prestwick Captain Harry L. Glasser (possible incorrect last name) has not been determined.
9. A review of Post Lisbon incident records reveals that an "observer" was assigned to the next recorded Stamos flight (that of 9/26/43). The observer appears to be an Operations Officer, is it possible that Squadron or Group has some questions as to the ability of the crew to function?
9a. It is noted that 20th A.T.C. Navigator Foisy accepted full responsibility for the navigation error on the night of 04 August 43.
