My dad, Sr/SGT Buddy Noah Keith was a waist gunner on the Boche Buster 42-31087, 612th bonbardment group. Boch Buster was the planes original name, the nick name was Heaven Can Wait. After the Buster was decommissioned and then re-commissioned, the name was officially changed to Heaven Can Wait. They flew 67 successive missions, with a totoal of 73 missions during WWII. During an attack on Politz 10/7/1944, all of the crew of the Boche Buster was interned in Sweden.
I do not know a lot about what my dad's war experiences were as he did not speak of them at all.
This is my two cents.....
Thanks -- Patty Keith Barker
