doinworkinvans Posted January 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2017 Just got this put in the display today. Grouping to SSgt Harry B-R-Y-S-O-N from Henderson, NC. Absolutely love the 307th and with him being from NC, just had to have this one. A very complete group as well. Several newspaper clippings and photos plus wings and ribbons and patches. Part of the group I really find interesting are the wartime/mission used aerial photos which are written upon with some sort of chalk or crayon indicating primary and secondary targeting. I just think these are awesome! Of course the crew photo is great too....he is standing on far left (killer A-2s as well!) Also part of the paper work is the selective service papers where he is inducted, never had these in a group. Thought they were pretty neat. A news paper article indicates 2 other brothers, one in Marines and one in Air Corps in Africa. Just a great all around group to my favorite bomb group. Special thanks to a fine forum member. I hope you enjoy it. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doinworkinvans Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted January 31, 2017 Found out today he completed 36 missions with the Reamey crew - 372nd squadron. He married in 1948 and worked as a rural postal carrier until retirement. He passed away in 2014 at age 94. Thanks to all who have looked.

mghcal Posted February 1, 2017 Share #15 Posted February 1, 2017 Really enjoyed seeing this great group. The bombing photos aren't something I've been able to come across in a group yet and you're lucky to have them. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
