| Can supply you a list of crewmen, missions, airplanes flown, and info on the planes.  Too much to put in a reply on the message board.  E-mail me.  O the D was gained by the unit on November 4, 1943.  Rumsey's crew is supposed to have flown it on their first mission 26 Nov 43, and I can't find any evidence of it having flown earlier.  Nicknames and serial numbers generally weren't on the loading lists until Aug 44 and beyond unless something significant happened to the plane.  <br/>

| I searched 'google' with 'Omar the Dentmaker' and got a pretty interesting response; apparently one of the crew was interned in Stalag Luft 1 - amazing amount of info - paste this into your browser [http://www.merkki.com/haffnerjames.htm<br/>]
