Charles M. Doss "Pappy"
|
In 1978 I interviewed my great uncle for a high school US History report
on a WWII veteran. Twenty-six years later
my brother Mike and I continue to search for information about what "Pappy"
kept to himself. In our efforts we have
uncovered many documents that are evidence of Pappy's WWII history and we
are still searching for any new
information that might help us complete our task of documenting this airman's
history in war.
Check this site within the next four months to see the progress we are making.

William Doss about their son, Mel.
Here is Mel's letter home to his parents

After returning home Mel was interviewed by local newspapers. He talked

his POW experience.
