Identification by Redin Kilpatrick, photo from Sarah Kilpatrick Robinson.

My name is Samuel L. Fetty Jr. I visited the 384th web site last week for the first time ever. In looking at the gallery I found a crew picture [#17 out of 35, KILPATRICK b.jpg] with my dad in it. S/Sgt Samuel L. Fetty, he is the first one standing on the left. He was a waist gunner on "Patches II". Dad died on May 15, 2005, and I wish that he had been able to see this web site. Thank You, Sam Fetty Jr.

9/15/2016 Notes, Cindy Farrar Bryan:
1. Since the ID of Kilpatrick was made by Redin Kilpatrick himself and the photo provided by his daughter, I believe the man standing on the left must be Kilpatrick rather than Fetty.
2. If the date of 7 June 1944 is correct, the sortie was:
Gerald Busby Sammons (P), Oliver McCoy Pryor (CP), George J. Jacobson (N), Jack Saul Dashev (N), Leo Lee Cooper (B), Lawrence Leonard Feyerabend (R), Walter Joseph Schneider (E/TT), James J. Placer (BT), and Redin Robert Kilpatrick (FG).
3. Henson was not on that Sortie and I do not recognize him in the photo.

Source Undetermined.
