B-17 42-107025 / Little Chum Details
Leonard Harding VanOver, Ball Turret Gunner/Togglier, is front row-center (kneeling) in the photo above. This well-worn photo is a scan of only a 3-inch x 4-inch print that was carried in Leonard Harding VanOver’s wallet from when the photo was taken (c. 1943-5) until his death in 2003, while the other was preserved.
