Chaplain Recalls Identification Of Four Bodies In Plane Crash
Major Abbott traced positions of four bodies from a crash scene and identified them after speaking with six survivors. One was the radio operator, another poised to leap from wreckage, and a third left 12 ten dollar bills under the body. The four men were to be buried with full military honors and later returned to U.S. cemeteries. Abbott, a Waynesville native and former St. Louis editor, reflects on his prewar duties and wartime chaplain services.
