      Sgt. William C. Slappey 30th Reconnaissance Troop  Provided by Harley Crawford

    Sgt. William C. Slappey of the 30th Reconnaissance Troop served from early 1942 at Camp Blanding, FL until mid April, 1945.  He was wounded about 35 miles east of Brunswick, Germany.  He received a leg injury which eventually caused him to lose his leg.  He was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star w/4olc, and the Purple Heart w/2olc.  He grew up in Screven Country, GA.  Prior to enlisting in the Army in 1941 he was being scouted by the University of South Carolina to play quarterback and was also being sought after by the New York Yankees organization to play baseball.  Due to the feverish patriotism that young males developed in this time he put all of his sports dreams on the back burner to go off to the Army....by Harley Crawford.

Photos above of German FW-190F-9s in Oschersleben, Germany...we believe.  Update March 2006: New information provided by Gerry Perrett states that the director of the museum in Oschersleben has examined the photos and determined that they were taken in AGO Oschersleben.   He compared them with known photos and even had them examined by a man who was conscripted by the Russians to dismantle the plant at war's end.  Because of the tail number of the aircraft in view, the planes are actually A-8 or A-9 models.  He also states that the planes were arranged in these buildings because as of April, '45, there was no fuel to ferry them to the Luftwaffe units in the area. Oschersleben was just SE of Magdeburg in the 119th and 2AD sector.  Photos were taken April, 1945.  Seated in the German is fighter is George Perrett of the 119th, Co. G.  Any assistance with further identification of these photos would be greatly appreciated.  Photos provided by Gerry Perrett....George's son.
