Tim, what a coincedence. That's really exciting news. You must be over the moon.

Hello,

I can't show pics here as I'm far from home with family for Christmas holiday.

I'll do so once back.

But yes Peter, I'm far over the moon as you say.

That's a stroke of luck! 'Little Mac' of the 388th was with the 560th Bomb Squadron, if that's any help.

Any help is welcomed !

Thanks.

Few more of The Frightful Old Pig (B-24J, 42-64257, 454th BG). She eventually was converted to an F-7 photo ship and flew night recon during the campaign against Rommel. With no armament, she could reportedly do 450mph! (I don't believe it, either.)

The Pig's artist was Peter Arno, the New Yorker cartoonist who was famous in his day. His specialty topics: booze and broads.

a friend of mine was with the 560th Sqn, and was aboard 'Little Boy Blue' when it collided with another ac.

The 560th patch was a Disney design

It has a "Gremlin", wearing helmet/goggles, flying a airplane made of clouds, and he's throwing an aerial bomb , the are a couple of small clouds around him , all on round background.
