| Andrea,<br/> <br/> On the home page of this web site click &quot;combat mission crews&quot; and look in alphabetical order for your grandfather under the 613th Squadron.  Then click on his name to see the missions he flew.<br/>

| Hi Andrea!<br/> I happen to have known the bombardier, Chuck Stode, of your grandpa's crew, and I have just recently been exchanging emails with a gentleman who knows the ball turret gunner, Howard Crull.  Their B-17 was called Command Performance II, and it was considered by the crew to be a lucky plane, as no one was ever injured until the second Schweinfurt raid, when it was shot down and I believe the waist gunners were killed.  I believe the rest of the crew spent the next 13 months as &quot;guests&quot; of the Reich in a POW camp.  Not much info, I know, but I hope others can add some more!<br/> Good luck to you!<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>
