I would like to call your attention to the April 2006 issue of World War II Magazine. On page 56 there is a picture of Col Harold W Bowman discussing the December 11. 1943 mission to Emden with other members of the 401st. Can anyone identify the other personnel>

The magazine article is about the 401st Bomb Squadron and not the Group, so having the picture  in the article is an error.  The Captain, third from the right, is Julius Pickoff, lead Navigator.  If the picture is indeed of the 11 Dec 1943 mission, it would be possible to narrow the identities down by using mission data and pictures from other parts of the website.  My father was in the 401st and I saw Julius at several reunions before he died.

Col Bowman flew with Capt Wysocki's crew from the 615th.  Check their crew shot and you might be able to identify some of them.
