About This SiteTo really bring you up to speed on this whole story you're seriously encouraged to start by reading a couple of blog posts first.
The posts are HERE and HERE and these are the original posts that started this whole project going. This site is maintained to ensure that the documents, photos, information and stories of the Bum's Rush crew be easily available to the friends and family of the men that were part of the crew. We started by compiling all of this information to a Facebook Group but since many people don't use Facebook [and we hate the idea of forcing them to in order to see some of this material] we're putting it online.

For the Facebook users the group is here: www.facebook.com/groups/bumsrush/

About Us |
The 'Royal We', as it were, are the friends and family of the B17 crew. Jason McHenry, the grandson of Harry Cunningham, is the person posting the material to this site on behalf of a handful of the other friends and family members of the crew.

Our History |
So far we have managed to find the family of Otis Lee, Carlton Alderson, Rudy Menchl, Harry Cunningham and Willie Jones. We are actively looking for the friends and family of the crew as well as any information you might have on the men of the crew, the plane itself or the facts leading up to and after this event.
