Almost one year ago Benedict D'Agostini passed away. He flew his missions as a bombardier with the Little Cheezer crew piloted by Louis Cooper of the 615th.

We are looking for any memories of "Dag" and his time at Deenethorpe that can be shared in a scrapbook for the family.

Thanks.

There's a crew shot on the website. You can probably get the National Archive negative number from the Group. I have a reference booklet with negative numbers for B-17s that have photos. There is a nice photo of Little Cheezer on the website also. If you are interested in other airplanes that he might have flown that don't have pictures on the website, let me know........

The big book "Classic Vintage Nose Art" by Gary M. Valant IBSN 0-681-22744-3 was published in 1997 by Lowe and B.Hould. There is a good A-2 jacket picture of Little Cheezer on page 113. Send you mailing address to CLMings@aol and I will scan and send a couple of prints that may be useful for your scrapbook.
