Ace Missing Forces Grief While Town Plans Welcome Home
Ace Gabreski, America's top scoring war pilot with 28 aerial victories, is reported missing over Germany. His fiance Kay Cochran of Madison, Wisconsin, had prepared to marry him on his return, while his parents in Oil City, Pennsylvania, cope with the shock as plans for a joyous homecoming fade. The War Department confirmed the missing status but withheld mission details for security.
