                                    <td style='vertical-align: top;'>Thank you, Jackie for your reply. Glad to post here of the gallery. It needs to 'get around' the web. <br><br>The past few years it's been on the internet, I've received a few emails from veterans that flew on some of these missions. One was a pilot of a 17 and was shot down. They were able to do a controlled landing in friendly French territory. All survived, and it took two weeks to make it back to their squad.<br><br>In as far as photos like this for the 401st -- not that I know for sure, but I reckon most all bomb mission had some sort of similar recon photos taken. In my recent posting of this gallery, I've yet to see bomb plot images that approach the detail that these have. The original prints measured 9 by 9 inches. <br><br>Upon opening the box full of originals, one could really notice the aged smell that old photographs give. <br><br>While scanning these images over several weeks, it was difficult at times to not get emotional while thinking of the tremendous drama of history captured with the camera. <br><br>The images portray the last moments of life for the unseen victims 25,000 feet below. Numbers of the bomber crews were injured or were shot down. Many were MIA.<br><br>Randy<br></td>
