Very nice Joe.
I'm sure Phil will be around to see this soon!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

What a great grouping
Thank you guys. There are many more pictures and articles of paperwork with this group, basically everything related to his military service. If you look above you will see a few pictures of the King and Queen of England with their daughter and of course the daughter is now the Queen.

What an amazing and complete group! Thanks for sharing.
Much thanks..

That is a fantastic grouping. If the photo's are of your man then he was attached to the 379th Bomb Group. You can tell that by the Triangle with the K in it on the tail of the B17.
Here is their website with some history and pic's.

Congrats on that find.

Thank you Phil,
Loads of pictures, newspaper clippings, and all of his military personal records, even his and his wife's driver's licenses from the 40's, wife's ID card to work in the base exchange. Just a bunch of stuff.
He survived the war and became a commercial airline pilot only to be killed in a plane crash in the late 40's..gees!
Stay tuned and I'll post another 8th grouping this evening. This other guy wrote a book and also did an interview that is on Youtube. Amazing story.
Best,
Rob
