More on W. B. Hull's 1946 Anit-Aircraft Shooting

I haven't been able to get any farther on this 1946-47 anti-aircraft shooting case #3442 and do not know if Hull actually served jail time or what happened in the case.

From rumors that we have come across in the Alva, OK area, we understand Hull never served time for shooting at Gene McGill's airplane in 1946.

We did our newspaper article search through December, 1947 and found nothing on the case after the last article of January 20, 1947.

While we were down in the musty courthouse basement, time was running short and we didn't want to get locked in the basement at closing time. So... we had to quit for the day. There are lots of shelves of old records and boxes and not enough time to go through all of the musty records in the Woods county courthouse basement.

WHAT IF... Hull's gunshots had struck the fuel tank and caused the light airplane to crash, killing Gene McGill and Marion Gardner? Where would Northwest Oklahoma and Woods County be today? There would have been no "Okielegacy Ezine" that you are reading today! This NW Okie had not even been conceived back in December 22, 1946. There would have been only two McGill Sisters. AND... What about Marion Gardner's family back in December 1946?

If anyone out there knows something more, we would love to hear and share your information on this 1946-47 aircraft shooting case #3442 in Woods County, Oklahoma.
