Your father was ball turretoperator on CaptainDan Knights crew that flew Mary Alice" to England in February 1944
I was the third pilot to fly her for 35 missions. I did not know your father as I came in as a replacement after he left, but have a book in which he is mentioned for an act of extreme loyalty and bravery.(and it has a
photograph of him).
The book is by Roger Freeman "B-17 Fortress at War" and the article is "The Saga of Mary Alice"
If you have not seen the article, I would be glad to photocopy it and his picture and send it to you.
