SYNOPSIS:
Note: Larry was questioned on "other personnel" and coordinate
discrepancies
in the crew.....
I was flying with Jerry Marvel when we were shot down. I don't know why the
coordinates are different, unless it had something to do with my going out
of the plane about 10 seconds later than Jerry, which would equate to about
a mile. Also, I was heard making radio transmissions for the four days that
elapsed before I was captured, so maybe someone picked up on that.
