Marvin L. Markus

The town already named on the wallet that would later be stamped for the crew. Flew the nose of the Spirit of Martinez. Thirty-one in the compilation. His family, seventy years later, remembered twenty-eight full bombing runs — Frank’s method, without ever seeing Frank’s paperwork. Serial 38: Eighth Service Command. Kingfisher, Oklahoma, from a source that is not the wallet.

Married Dorothy Ellen O’Niel in July 1945 — sixty-nine years. Built an automotive-electric business across several towns and retired in 2003. His 2015 obituary remembered his war in a single number: twenty-eight full bombing runs. Died 30 March 2015, age eighty-nine, and was buried at Kingfisher County Memorial Cemetery with full military rites.

Nine men, four totals. The compilation’s count, beside the other eight.
