It seems there were 3 or 4 different Easy Maids attached to different units..

It's a little hard to differentiate between them.

I sent emails to all the people named above, maybe I'll get an answer soon. I'll will post anything new.

Any clue to the other plane?

There were so many aircrafts flown in WW2 that was quite impossible to have other name for each machine. A lot of machines had the same name.
Anyway, you know the ser. Nr.,MACR, the crew so everything is clear. I only hope it is the machine you´re looking for, but I think so.
Hope someone will respond you soon. Also hope that Norman is still living!

Congrats!
This one should be really good! Costs about 960 € here...
I´m sure you got a good helper.
Looking forward for the findings and their pics!

Roman,

I have contact with Mr. Stickney and his flight engineer Mr. William Snow
Both are alive and kicking!
I wrote 22 emails to all kinds of email addresses I found on the web, yesterday Mr. William Snow answered:

"Dear Michael, My name is William Snow I was the flight engineer on the B-24 that was shot down on April 25th . Norman Stickney was the Co-Pilot. Norman asked me to contact you.....Norman forwarded your "E" Mail to me to see if I could work with you to identify the aircraft parts you have found. Yes, we were taken to Perg and put in the local jail. One of our crew members returned to Perg Austria with his wife sometime in the nineteen seventies and was greeted by the son of the policeman that had held us in the jail in 1945(small world).They spent two days together sight seeing and enjoying each other's company. Michael, if I had your phone number I would be able to help you identify the parts you have as of now..... My telephone number is ............. I hope we can solve this mystery, needless to say we are all very touched by your interest . Hope you get this ,Bill Snow"

I was very choked up after I read the mail... I still am absolutely stirred.
Thanks to everybody who helped and was a part in this project.

If you are interested I will continue to keep you updated on new events and post pics as soon as we go looking again.

For sure Michael, keep us informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know what you speak about as I know how much effort it cost me and my family to find out all the information about that guy in my siggy. Everything began with e-mails in 2004 and he visited me here in 2005 and 2007. We visited him in USA in 2006.
U N F O R G E T A B L E M O M E N T S!!!

Heartly congratulations from me! I wish some of the crew could visit you. It would got you in knees for sure....
