The Harold Hetzler Crew, about which I am researching and speaking, was part of the 458th Bombardment Group based in Horsham St. Faiths just north of Norwich, England. I have been greatly helped in my research by Darin Scorza. Darin runs the 458th website http://www.458bg.com/ and really helped jump start my research 2 years ago, when I first began my project. Darin's father, Navigator Samuel Scorza, witnessed the explosion that brought down the Hetzler crew from a nearby bomber. Darin's father was an original member of the 458th, just like Harold, and completed his tour of 30 combat missions in June of 1944. The photo shows the Howard Slaton crew, click the picture for that crew's story.
