Looking for a crew photo. This crew was with the 612th, and arrived in Britain in Mar or April '44, and were shot down
May, 7, 1944 mission to Berlin.

Thanks

There is a picture of the plane (Lassie Come Home) at the Air Force Museum, negative number 297.  You can't always tell if it's a crew picture, just a plane picture, or what, until you see a copy.  The crew was shot down on only their third mission and the airplane had been at Deenethorpe for a few months, so I wouldn't count on it being a crew shot. I don't have an address or phone number for the museum, but check with Dayton Ohio directory assistance. It would be under file J4 US/AC B-17/Pho.  I don't know if you can order copies like you can with the National Archives.

You might check with the National Archives.  Don Byers had their e-mail in one of his responses to a message on the bulletin board.

Ironic.  My dad was in the 612th and our family was known as the House of Grimmet in Scotland from the 1300's on.
