| Hi Alex,<br/> <br/> Have you considered forwarding a scan of your Combat Crew Training School photo of your Dad's G. Bingham Crew with who's who IDs for those pictured?  It's really great you have all the Crewmen's ID and hometown info. <br/> <br/> Then maybe the 401BG's Website's 'Combat Crews' Lt. Bingham Crew photo can be updated, too, with the names of all the Crewmen pictured.<br/> <br/> BTW, do you know where your Dad had his Army Radio School training?<br/> <br/> Win  <br/> [mailto:win-z@comcast.net|win-z@comcast.net] <br/><br/><br/>

| Win-win, thank you for the response.  I am new to this site, and I am just finding my way around.<br/> Your suggestion about scanning the photos is excellent, and I will do that.<br/> I'm not certain, but I think my dad had radio training in Wisconsin.  He kept very detailed records of his entire military training/missions/military duty, and, as I find my way around this site, I will add more info.<br/> <br/> A couple years ago, I was in contact with the son of George BIngham (pilot), but I lost him, and I'm hoping he sees a post of mine on this site, as I'd love to be in contact with him again.<br/> <br/> Thanks. <br/><br/><br/>

| If you have been to Lt. Bingham's crew data page you will see we have a photo but no identities for the crew members.  With your scan we might be able to match the names up to the other faces.  Please send scan to me at [|historian@401bg.org] other photos are also welcome.  We also look for diaries and hope they can provide additional info.<br/> <br/> Don Byers<br/> Group Historian <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C.
