    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Tbarndt1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.calhoun/4090/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have a picture that my father gave me of the last airplane flown by a "Lieutenant VanHaaften" (USAF)in Chitose Japan in 1955. My father, James Driskell, was the crew chief for this plane and told me that the pilot left on a mission one morning and never returned. He reported the delayed return to his commanding officers and the wreckage was found by a search party 3 days later on the side of a mountain in Japan. If anyone is interested in the picture of the plane (before the crash) I will be happy to send it. I do not know Lt. VanHaaftens first name.
