A close friend’s father was either the bombardier or navigator in the B-17 „once in’a while“. Name: Owen E Larson. Made it home to Neenah, WI to eventually become a doctor/ anesthesiologist with 9 kids. Any records of him and which position …bomber or nav? (Masters of the air made me remember this. What an excellent show!)
I THINK he might have been in the 100th…not sure. The son I used to hang out with died, so I can’t get the answer. Thanks for your time, J. Kraus
