545th BS - John Hunt Crew - John H. Hunt, Jr. crew. Photo taken after their second mission (#167) to Merseburg Germany on 7/29/1944. They didn't make it back to GU, but landed on the coast.
Inscription on reverse: End of second mission – over Merrsberg. Lost 3 engines – shot up very bad – landed on shore line of England – North Sea. Bill Touton.
Per Mark Meehl, the a/c may have landed at Beccles, which had an airbase built by the US but was not used much by them, called Ellough Airfield.
