Thanks for the Pic's !!!
My uncle was a tail gunner on the B17 42-38112 "Mrs Geezil" . They were shot down on the April 13 1944 Schweinfurt raid.. 4KIA 6POWs. My uncle spent the rest of the war as a POW at Stalag 17B.
He passed away in 1975 and never talked about that time. BUT I just made contact with the Left Waist gunner of that crew. What and awesome find. It was great listening to the vet for close to an hour( I Recorded the whole thing)telling me how he talked my uncle into coming back early from leave and were assigned to the flight for the next day.April 13th. He said my uncle was so mad at him ,that he didn't talk to him the whole time they were in Stalag 17B. It was my uncle's 25th mission( His last)
Great Story Of Great Men!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Again
