42-97314 was my dads assigned B-17 with pilot Lt Victor Trost. It was not POP but named Little John. For picture proof go to the book Mission 368 (Stackpoole Pub.) page 2 or 3 US Air Force Photo of Little John.

Raymond is correct. My father, Richard Funk, was also a crew member on „Little John“. Picture proof can also be found here: http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/10418
