Message |- | '''ElmersTune''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/NoAvatar.gif' /></div><br/>1/18/2009 3:15:56 PM | Elmer Browning, 615 Sq Ball Turret, has written a terrific book based on his wartime missions diary. It is a pleasure to read about the missions and crew of my father, the pilot of Elmer's Tune. I hope all of you have an opportunity to read about the exploits of our Group.<br/> <br/> Bill Gillespie <br/><br/><br/> |- | '''donaldbyers''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/donaldbyers.jpg' /></div><br/>1/19/2009 7:01:22 AM | Please include the name of the book.
