Pursuit of obsessive reloading, shooting, hunting, and other outdoor sports and related activities with the internationally known Hobie. These are my own experiences and opinions and only I am to blame for the content. Reloading data is used at your own risk. I am not responsible for anyone else's use of any such data or information.

Warren Francis Leland
TSGT
Warren Francis Leland (born 22 Nov 1922) is on our left in this photo with his mother,
Grace Velma (Emery) Leland and his brother CPL Allen Frederick Leland.
Warren served as radio operator on the "Pistol Packin' Momma" of the
38th Bomb Squadron, 30th Bomb Group (Heavy) in the South Pacific. The
plane was shot down in a bombing mission over Marcus Island on 11 Sep 1944 and all but
one crew member were killed. As noted with his brother's photo, Warren
is my 8th cousin twice removed. Both of these men are descendents of
Abraham Jaquith (1644-1679) also of Woburn, MA who was killed in service
during King Phillip's War.
