whallii - Friday 13 January 2017,Hello,
Unidentified 2 (Back row, shorter man standing in middle of frame) is Frank G. Fauser, Tail Gunner.
He is my Godfather. Growing up I would make model airplane B-17s with him and listen to his stories. I can remember many times hearing him say, "Keep the Show on the Road." This is an absolute joy to discover this photo.
Unidentified 4 may be Irving Machiz base on comparison with the Emil E. Pluhar Crew photo in the Pluhar Crew Album. Keith Ellefson, 2019-04-09
