| I am searching the Kovach crew, who had their last mission with #42-31369 &quot;Round Tripper&quot; on 5. August 1944. It was mission #123 - Nienburg.<br/> <br/> According the 614th Sqn Loading List this day, I can see the crew of Kovach was:<br/> <br/> P   1st Lt. Kovach, John W.<br/> CP  2nd Lt. Kellam, James W.<br/> N   2nd Lt. Coselli, Frank J. Jr.<br/> CTG S/Sgt.  Horbatuck, Stepan J.<br/> RO  T/Sgt.  Pollard, Omer S.<br/> TT  T/Sgt.  Rouhselang, Willard J.<br/> BT  S/Sgt.  Guest, Hollis D.<br/> TG  S/Sgt.  Schmidt, Edward J.<br/> WG  S/Sgt.  Maki, Arthur W. <br/> <br/> Next day the aircraft went down in the Baltic Sea with the Sauerwald Crew.<br/> <br/> I am very interested to have a photo of the aircraft. Please refer to other messages on this Messsage Board concerning the recovery.<br/> <br/> <br/> Kind regards<br/> <br/> Finn Buch<br/>

| The National Archives has a negative # A65452AC of Round Tripper.  I can't tell from the negative number if this is a crew picture in front of the airplane, a shot of the plane itself, or a painted jacket.  They will send you a xerox copy of the photo from that negative and a brochure on how to order prints from companies that have &quot;pull&quot; rights.  Look at the National Archives website.<br/>

| There is a negative # A65452AC at the National Archives that has Round Tripper in it.  There's no way of knowing what kind of shot it is unless you ask them.  <br/>
