| Since the search function is not working on the main web site can anyone help Chris Henry find information about Arthur Depra? <br/> <br/> He posted his request on the old forum on April 21,2009.<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| I've sent Chris a message via WIX letting him know about this forum, where it's a lot easier for us to give him the info he requires.  &#x1f642; <br/> <br/> His friend's Grandfather (listed as Sgt A.R. De Pra) was usually the ball gunner on H.V. Nielson's crew: <br/> Crew details page [++c011571|<b>HERE</b>] and/or [http://edwardgdanaii.info:8000/401st/New/history/crew.asp?cid=11571|<b>HERE</b>].<br/> <br/> I know Chris would like to find a photograph of their usual airplane, 44-6588 "Carrie B IV", but off the top of my head I can't recall if there is one.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Here's some of the photo's from Adam Riddle's grandfather's collection that Chris posted up over on WiX.<br/> Some we've seen, and some that aren't in the archives:<br/> <br/> B-17F-50-DL 42-3371, one of the planes the 401st trained on in the ZI, probably at the 2AF B-17 Replacement Crew Training Station at Ardmore AAF.<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa011.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The aircraft in the foreground  in the next three photos is IW-N 43-38738 "BeComin' Back" which survived her 57 misions, and ended up at Kingman, AZ for scrapping.<br/> The plane in the background is marked IY-G and is H2X radar-equipped. <br/> This must be 44-8708, which seems to have only flown in the same squadron box as IW-N on two occasions, so the photo was presumably taken on either of these dates: <br/> Group Mission 225 to Hagen marshalling yards on the 10th March 1945 <br/> Group Mission 246 to Oranienburg ordnance depot on the 10th April 1945 <br/>  <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa012.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa013.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa015.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa014.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa016.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa017.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa020.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa021.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa022.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa023.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa024.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa025.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa026.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa028.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa030.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa035.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa031.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa032.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa033.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa036.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q144/mustangdriver_photo/ResearchingRiddlesgrandpa037.jpg' /><br/> <br/> I'll have a stab at captioning those I can over the next few days.<br/> <br/> Chris has made a video to go with these, which can be viewed [http://video.yahoo.com/watch/4997376/13296286|<u>HERE</u>]<br/> <br/> And "Holedigger" over on WiX has come up with this great colour illustration:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp216/Holedigger_photos/B-17G-IN-Ds-1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Closeup:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp216/Holedigger_photos/CarrieB-noseSSide.jpg' /><br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Don/Paul,<br/> <br/> If you are able to get ahold of the graphics on the Carrie B II could I please have a copy as well for Uncle Frank? <br/> If there is a cost involved for his time, please let me know. I've only seen a partial photo.<br/> <br/> Thanks,<br/> <br/> Josie  &#x1f603; <br/><br/><br/>
