Answer 1

Rob, you are sharing a wonderful piece of history with us. And I am amazed how clear the picture is.

I love the way they placed themselves in front of the plane. 28 men that served together in 1944. None of them look very old, except for a couple in the front row. Dix, Rum, Brownie, The Fox, Skipper and Buckey are very interesting nicknames.

I would love to be at their reunion and listen to them talk about how they got those names.

This is a great picture, and I thank you for sharing it with your WikiTree family.

God Bless!

Thank you Susan, for selecting my answer.

Really cool that so many of the names were written in the back. So often and sadly, that’s not the case.
