Dear Tracy-
My father just passed away this past Friday (2/8/08).  His name was David F. Tompkins, and was co-pilot on the plane "Grin n Bare It" in the 612th Bomb Squadron in the 401st BG.  I have many photos that I've offered electronically to the website historian.  There may have been two planes with the same name (so I remember hearing).  The commanding pilot of my Dad's plane was 1st Lt. E.G. Burns.  You can search for them on the 401bg website.  Hope this helps!
