My dad was born 8/16/44 and was an Army pilot stationed across from Wiesbaden in Mainz for 6 years in the 70s and 80s (and was stationed elsewhere in Germany in the 60s). I believe they bombed Mainz on that mission, too. Mainz was pretty leveled in the war.

Thanks to your brother for his service and glad he lived a long and happy life.

Somewhere on the vast World Wide Web is a recount of that mission. My memory is like a old reel to reel wire recorder, broken and in need of replacement parts that are no longer available...
