For the last 14 years I have been assisting a WWII, VFW comrade (now over 95+ years old) in trying, in addition to putting together some facts about the life of my VFW comrade’s Dad, to get the remains of his father [CPT Warren C.M. Lessing (O-916 612)], also a WWII soldier, found and extricated from an Excalibur plane crash site in Botwood Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, in October 1942. CPT Lessing was a close friend of General Doolittle and apparently on his way to a meeting with Gen. Doolittle in Foynes, Ireland when his plane crashed, but neither he nor the documents he was allegedly carrying, allegedly have been recovered. There’s a great deal more, including some intriguing events to this story/account that cannot be detailed here.
