| I recently purchased a DVD on Ebay that was produced by the War Department in 1942. It is only 11 minutes long but I could not take my eyes off the pictures as they went on across the screen. Several planes were featured and there were more I could not read. The clip shows pilots and ground crews preparing for a bombing run and shows them loading the B-17's and taking off as well as some of the bombing runs. <br/> <br/> I am not sure of the squadrons involved. <br/> <br/> These are a few of the planes I could make out. <br/> <br/> Yankee Doodle <br/> Stinky <br/> _____ (something) Jenny <br/> Phyliss <br/> <br/> I have contacted Kele and she is in the process of trying to set up a way we can share this video clip on the web site. <br/> <br/> It would be wonderful if anyone recognized a love one or family member. <br/> <br/> What a treasure this 11 minutes is. <br/> <br/> I have long known my Dad was a Ball Turret gunner and radio man in his crew and I have always known that anyone who was in a Ball Turret would be in a rather small space, but I never realized just how small until I watched this. <br/> <br/> <br/> Just wanted to share this with all of you. <br/> <br/> Jackie	<br/>
