Prior to Joining
the 350th FG, Glenn Dow flew as co-pilot with the 464th Bomb Group in B-24s.
There was a special regulation that permitted brothers to serve in the
same unit, and Glenn's brother, Hugh "Rowdy" Dow as CO of the
346th FS of the 350th FG arranged for Glenn to transfer to his squadron
as a P-47 Pilot.
Looking forward to joining his
brother, Glenn was enroute and it was only upon his arrival at the 350th
that he learned that brother Hugh had been shot down behind enemy lines
only a couple of days before and was MIA. Sometime later, it was learned
that Hugh had been captured and was a POW.
