Lt Fred McIntyre was promoted to Captain, and was assigned to fly the Barrel House Bessie during his last ten missions. The captain and his entire crew made completed their missions and safely returned home to tell there story. I have
numerous news paper clippings that support this information. It should be noted in the archives that his rank as a b17 pilot was Captain. He rose in rank after he completed his 25 missions. This information was posted in the Reno Nevada Newspaper, where is mother and father lived.
