My father-in-law, Collman Ketring, was a pilot in the 719th Squadron. His name is sometimes misspelled as “Colman” in military information. His daughter, Nancy Ketring Kennedy, is my wife. There seems to be scant mention of his name on the webpage, In addition, some of the contents have been misplaced in connection with Ross E. Kettering, a pilot in the 718th Squadron. Interestingly, Dick Downey was a member of Collman Ketring’s crew. Also, Louis Newton was a member of that crew, and the story of naming the plane “Darling Vi”, which is given under Ross Kettering’s page, should actually be contained in a page or section for Collman Ketring. We have a significant amount of information relative to Lt. C. H. Ketring and the Ketring crew’s record. Attached is a photo of the Ketring crew for starters. Thanks.
