1st.Lt. Marion Edwin Legendre
United States Army Air Force 12th Photo Recon Squadron
from:Wilmington, California
(d.7th October 1943)
I have just received an accident report on my uncle Marion E. Legendre who is listed as Missing in Action on 7th of October 1943.
From what I gather 1st Lt. Marion E. Legendre was on a Photo Mission to Trieste, Italy with 3rd Photo Recon Group. The report states that he had lunch at Grottalia, Italy refueled and proceeded to Trieste at 1330 hours. He failed to return to Grottalia or his own home base. He was stationed in Tunisia or Algeria. I have his flight book, APO 520 for the dates of summer and fall of 43 list Algeria and Tunisia with Foggia listed in late October of 1943. The last place he was sighted was at Grottalia by 1st Lt. John Mark 0-733930. Marion was my mother Lois's only sibling.
