2nd Lt. Robert L. Wilson was the radar operator in the
F-89 which disappeared in the Kinross Incident. His hometown was Ponca
City, Oklahoma.
He was quiet spoken, reserved and serious about his
career.
When I spoke with William Mingenbach about him, he
spoke highly of him.
It was for me a very strange experience to speak to
William Mingenbach about Robert Wilson. As he talked about him, I was
thinking, "Yes, that is exactly as I remember him." It is through memories
of an incident which happened when I was three years old, that I have my
most vivid "memories" of Robert Wilson.
I have not located any living relatives or
acquaintances of Robert Wilson, other than William Mingenbach, so I would
be most interested in hearing from anyone who knew him and who might be
able to tell me more about him.
