My compliments on the appearance, information and mechanics of your web site. It does great honor to those who served in the 401st.
     I am doing research on my unclue, Lt./Capt. Stephan Nason, who flew with the 613th since its inception. His B-17G was named Pee-Tey-Kun (42-31033). I am seeking photographs of the aircraft and the 613th during its first few months in England. Any assistance or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

My father was the right waist gunner on the Pee Tey Kuh from the beginnnig till she went down over Germany on 01/11/44. I have a photo on my living room wall of the entire crew standing in front of the aircraft. Each man in the photo signed his name.
