Frank B. Hawkins was born May 16th, 1918 in Ohio, died October 9th, 1991. He is buried in military cemetery at
Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. There is also a marker in Altus, Oklahoma.
I believe he was in the 12th Air Force,
57th Bomb Wing, 310th Bomb Group, 381st Bomb Squadron His B-25C was named "Green Eyes" - Tail Number 41-13102. This
story starts in Maine and ends in North Africa.
The first entry in this daily diary is October 9, 1942 and ends
when he was shot down in a B-25 on February 23, 1943. After being shot down he was captured, made a POW, and subsequently
escaped. There are additional writing about his time in prison camp; however, those have not been transcribed as of
this date.
This site is maintained by his son - Jim Hawkins. I am interested in hearing from others who
may have been associated with him. A list of people cited in the diary is available on this site. I can be contacted
