| I am trying to find out about my father, Robert J Maxwell. I have an old photo of him and it has &quot;Ruff and Reddy&quot; printed in his hand on the back. He was a waist gunner. He was from Delaware and went to the Harlingen Gunnery School in Texas. According to a newspaper article he flew over 30 missions. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!<br/>

| Couldn't find an R.J. Maxwell on any of the 401st crews.  Are you sure he was 401st?  Did find another Ruff and Ready in the 391st Bomb Group.  <br/> <br/> Scott McElvain<br/>

| according to the book 401st bomb Group 'The Best damn Outfit in the USAAF' there was an a/c called Ruff and Reddy. <br/> <br/> However, the serial number of this B-17 is not known. I also cannot trace your fathers name in the crew listings.<br/> <br/> Would you have any further information available ?.<br/> <br/> Dave<br/>

| When I said in my initial response that there was another Ruff and Ready in the 391st, I meant another besides the one in the 401st.<br/>

| RE: Robert J Maxwell #32488211<nowiki>--</nowiki><nowiki>--</nowiki>We still hope that someone will see these messages and maybe remember our Dad. His nickname was Max or Bob. My sister(Trish) has posted a message on another board. [http://www.com-web.com/wwwboard/messages/2098.html<br/>] She posted the picture we have of him in with a crew. His records were stolen from our mother and the originals lost in a fire by the Air Force. So we are stuck! Thanks for all your leads! Sharon<br/>
