That is awesome Albert, great pics and thank you to your grandpa.

My buddies uncle was a pilot on a B-17 called " Miss-Behavin' ". (not to be confused with "Ain’t Miss Behavin") It was shot down on a bombing run over Meersberg Germany near the Switzerland border in WWII..

Thank you! Unfortunately those were all just from my Cell phone, but pretty decent none the less. Wish Grandpa was still around to talk about it. being kids you dont ask questions about history. He passed away on my 20th birthday. now 13 years ago.

I'm not sure what plane he was on, in fact i just sent a message to my grandma to get me some details so i can see what i can find out it.

My buddies uncle's plane and the crew

"Flack took out three of the four engines and he ordered everyone out except the co-pilot and engineer. The three of them went down with the plane".

Great stuff guys, and thank you to all of the Grandpas for their service.

If memory serves more men were killed in the US 8th AF in Europe than Marines in the Japanese theater. Unbelievable.
