A few images of the 401st in flight, identifications and additional info to be added later where possible. 🙂

42-3507 Duffy's Tavern:





Here's a much better version of the photo discussed in THIS thread:



Note on the back of this one say's "Return, 13th June"...







Intriguing stripe on the wing of one of the planes in this great shot:



I'll have hi-res digital copies of these for the Association's records at the reunion.

All the best,
Paul

Great Paul will be looking forward to what you bring. If you haven't read the online sigh up is now closed and registration has to be sent in by regular mail! You also need to call for hotel reservations.

Paul and Don, Thanks for the picture of 3507 "Duffys Tavern". I looked at my dad's journal and he flew his first flight on her with Lt. Piper on June 13. Dad's journal says it was Duffys 30th flight on the 13th (13 was dad's lucky number) I'll get in touch with Joe Lagrasta, tail gunner on the "Jill's Jalopy". Enjoy the reunion.
