The Black Suitcase Mystery

Gail Elliott (Thomas) Downs is a retired elementary school educator with thirty-seven years' experience as a classroom teacher, reading specialist and school librarian. She grew up in an Army family and became an Army wife, but had little knowledge of the 15th Army Air Corps activity during World War II. As the Black Suitcase Mystery project unfolded, Gail learned, right along with her fifth-grade students, about World War II aviation and the missions flown by B-24 Liberator bomber crews. Gail currently resides on the Oregon Coast and is available to give presentations about the Black Suitcase Mystery. Contact may be made by emailing Gail at: [email protected].
