joslarkin@aol.com (5 Feb 2006): My Dad served as photographer with 9thAF, took photo of B-17 w/ same name sometime between Feb & June 44. Has white lettering "25 or Bust" on nose. He was stationed at Chalgrove & Middle Wallop, covered some nearby 8th AF units. He kept this with a graphic for the 306th BG(H) with squadron patch designs. Can anyone help with proper ID?
ray stammel @ 72.228.61.158 (Sun Feb 4 16:26:05 2007): Is there a full picture of this plane with crew? My dad Edward R Stammel was a top turret gunner in this plane. I wish that this picture could be larger. the reason this was my dad plane that he flew in and I would either like to get a picture or print this out. My e-mail par69@nycap.rr.com, or address 957 Western Rd., Castleton, New York 12033. 518-732-7595 [admin - I added the other photo with some crew visible on 2007-01-03]
