Did anyone notice who this is? Gawd- I noticed it right away!!!
It is movie star Jack Palance, who was a bomber pilot in WWII.
According to a website honoring movie celebrities that flew in B-24s, Palance burned his face severely while bailing out of a B-24 which was on fire during a training flight in Tucson in 1942 (that would probably have been the Davis-Monthan Army Air Corps base at that time) and after several surgeries was discharged in 1944. He is described as a "pilot in training".

Hello Andrew,

when i made a search with the propertries of my photos, i came on this link

mighty8thaf.preller.us

but i don't remember in wich section of this link.
because my initial search was not starting directly with the properties.
i think it was something like ''flight suit'' or ''flight gear'' or ''A2 leather jacket'' or ????? i don't remember.
and i found an interesting photo; by selection of this photo, i was directed on a page.
this link is well knowed and have several pages of good photos, good visit.
you will arrive on a slideshow and when you leave this slideshow, you'll be directed on a pagina where you may select an album.

there are 3 top level albums and 18 sub albums......

Hey thanks Marcel,
That's the "Double Wallop" , 388th BG/562nd SQ, lost to flak on mission to Munich 31 Jul 44 - 8 POW. No navigator on this mission, Crider crew (MACR 7746). My dad was a navigator with the 563rd and I am an associate member and past president...

I believe the last bomb exiting the B-17 is possibly an M-79 Cluster/Fragmentation bomb.
Cheers,
Don
