Great collection of 100th BG A2s

Here's a link to a page on the 100th BG association site full of veterans' A2s. A great gallery IMO

Check out that whole site. There are hundreds of combat photos also. If you look on page 04 you'll see a black and white photo of Bill Behr's A2. I did that one for him about 25 years ago when I first started painting jackets.

It is a great site! Kind of ironic, I just snagged a original 3 foot long 350th Bomb Squadron 100th Bomb Group photo. Can't wait to get it framed up! It's huge!

Thanks Dave. Bill was a good friend of mine who got me interested in the 8th AF and the 100th Bomb Group in the first place. He was responsible for naming Silver Dollar and was her first ball turret gunner. Previous to SD, he flew on Bastard's Bungalow until it got too shot up to fly. Bill got me to take a ride in 909 about 25 years ago. We both sat in the radio room with huge smiles on our faces as 909 started her engines and then took off. It took about a week for us to peel the smiles off our faces. Unfortunately, he passed on a number of years ago. He told some great stories.
