USdog Posted November 15, 2017 #1 Posted November 15, 2017 Just got this one recently. Not until recently did I realize how much action this vet saw. 53 MISSIONS! He must have really been testing his luck. See link below... http://www.388bg.info/servlet/Controller?pageType=detail&id=388-I-BIG01-01&dataType=Person
USdog Posted November 15, 2017 Author #5 Posted November 15, 2017 With his first crew. He is in the front row, far right.
USdog Posted November 15, 2017 Author #7 Posted November 15, 2017 The plane he flew for a lot of his missions. However he is not in this picture
USdog Posted November 15, 2017 Author #8 Posted November 15, 2017 Here's an interesting story about a mission he had.
muddyboots Posted November 15, 2017 #9 Posted November 15, 2017 Excellent tag!!!!! I couldnt imagine that many missions. A lot of bombers only made one run.
Glidertrooper Posted November 15, 2017 #10 Posted November 15, 2017 Spectacular tag, particularly with all the images of the fellow. Great story as well. Love Mighty Eighth stuff having grown up in East Anglia.
USdog Posted November 16, 2017 Author #12 Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks all! Honored to have it in the collection...
twining540 Posted November 16, 2017 #13 Posted November 16, 2017 WOW!!! Fantastic tag! That's some great history. I have to say your collection is one in it's own. Love the pictures. Congrats!

Sully Posted November 16, 2017 #15 Posted November 16, 2017 Lucky to have made it that many trips. Although the last three missions were after the Germans surrendered.
USdog Posted November 16, 2017 Author #16 Posted November 16, 2017 I KEEP GETTING THIS MESSAGE WHEN I CLICK ON YOUR LINK ???? Thats odd let me check that out.
USdog Posted November 16, 2017 Author #17 Posted November 16, 2017 Ok should be fine now. Thanks for letting me know!
Warren Posted December 4, 2025 #18 Posted December 4, 2025 I really like the picture of him and his crew. I have never seen a picture with all the crew wearing their .45 pistols!
