My father flew on Omar the Dentmaker.  He was a waist gunner. He died in 1967, I was only 13 years old at the time.  I don't know very much of what my father spoke about of this time.  I know that the name of the B-17 was in fact "Omar the Dentmaker".  I remember a story of another crew that had to fly the Dentmaker because of mechanical problems with their aircraft, and was lost in battle.  
I am trying to find info on my Dad and crew from that time. His name was SSgt. C.W. Marsh.
If you could find out info on the crew I would appreciate it so much.
