Revisions
I am Vernon E. Clark's daughter. I found two entries for him, under "Vernon E. Clark" and "Vernon E. Clarke." "Clarke" is a misspelling, it should be "Clark." Can you please correct the spelling and combine the two entries into just one entry for him? Each one has slightly different information. I would like the map of Baltimore (his birthplace) and the map of the flight path included, as well as a description of his B-17 bomber, "Wabbit Twacks" combined into one entry for "Vernon E. Clark." Thank you very much.
