Kordsmeier was a command pilot of one of the B-29's that flew his 10th mission over Tokyo on March 10, l945. He and his crew lost their lives while dropping the very first incindinary bomb load carried out over Tokoyo which required low level flying over the target. Hubert was in the 873rd Bomber Squardon, 498th Bomber Group (Very Heavy) stationed on Siapan. To Whom It May Concern:
