Michael, 

 

Here is the photo of my Father and his group, he is the one on the right end, Charles Hartness. I also scanned the back of the photo, which has the names on the back. I will send it in a separate e-mail. I don't know anything about any missions that they flew, I do know that they did make some bomb runs. My Dad was born July 16, 1925, so he didn't get in the war until close to the end. He was a tail-gunner (actually Top Turret Engineer…mpf)  because he wasn't very big and fit in the spot.  He met my Mother in England, and she came over here after the war. 

 

Enjoy the photo.

Susan (Hartness) Chriestenson
