My dad, Charles Daniel Arendell, served with the 100th Aero Squadron. He was on the Tuscania when it was torpedoed. He and several others was able to launch life boats and make it to Ireland. I have an account of that day that I gave to a local newspaper reporter. If I can find it I will forward it to you if you think it would be of any value. I also have a book of the history of most of the WW1 squadrons.

I pulled up your web page and was thrilled to see the results of the many years and hours of research you have devoted to this project. It is a beautiful piece of work and I am sure you are very proud.

I have looked for and have not found a e-mail ADR for the History Channel. If they have not already contacted you, I believe it would make a great story for them to pursue.
Congratulations on your work.
