Subject: Lewis McMahan

Dear Ms. Haines,
My uncle Art Herrmann was the pilot of the B-29 aircraft on which Lewis was the Aircraft Commander. It is my understanding that the plane was called the "Fancy Nancy" and that the name came from Lewis' daughter.
There are TWO things I would like to have if possible:

1. Confirmation regarding the name.

2. Any recollections or related items Lewis may have created regarding his time on Tinian.

Thank you.

Art Vaughan
