NOTE: Of six former pilots of the 93d Bombardment Group who had been on the 1948 TDY to Okinawa and had been located and contacted for more information concerning this topic, Mr. Gibson was the only one who offered assistance to this research. Two said they had never heard of the incident. Three others, upon learning the topic of this research, had either suspended communication with the researcher, or refused to answer any questions concerning the bombing incident (one of the three at least admitted knowledge of the incident).
