>2. 3 days in Normandy (D-Day areas - my first cousin was KIA at St.-Lo)
>3. 2 days based in Arras to see the Somme sights
>4. 1 1/2 days around Verdun (my grand-dad fought at Montfaucon with the US
>Army)
>5. Can't do Paris - next time

>Here are my questions and where I need assistance
>1. I am planning on visiting Murvaux to see where Frank Luke went in. Is

>that?
>2. Is the site marked where Richthofen crashed?
>3. I know where Albert Ball's grave is. Anything on Mannock and McCudden?
