Lieut Myers Lost His Life OverGermany Local Co-Pilot, First Reported Missing, Was Killed in Action NAZIS TELL OF FATE Previously reported missing in action from a flight over Germany on Aug. 4, Second Lieut. William J. Myers, 26- year-old Titusville co-pilot of a Flying Fortress, is now believed killed in action, according to a War Department telegram received yesterday by his wife, Patricia, of 710 North First street.

The telegram differed from most casualty messages, reading as follows: "Report now received from the German government through the International Red Cross states your husband, Second Lieut. William J. Myers, who was previously reported missing in action, was killed in action of 4 August over Germany, The Secretary of War extends his deepest sympathy. Letter follows." The roundabout method by which the information reached the War Department gives members of his family hope that, because of faulty identification on the part of German authorities, the lieutenant may be alive. The letter is expected to give more detail and may clear up the doubt.

he began his course as a student officer in flight training, and was graduated as a pilot on Feb. 8, 1944, at Douglas. Ariz. So great was his desire to fly that he persisted despite friendly suggestions by his family and medical officers that perhaps his eyes weren't quite what they should be. By this time he had begun to wear glasses.

After a leave spent in Titusville last February, he went to Kingman, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Rapid City, South Dakota. Flew Low Here on Trip East On June 26 he started toward Europe as a co-pilpt of a B-17 crew, and flew low over -Titusville en route to an jastern air base.
