My dad, Joseph E. Bauer, was the tail gunner on this plane. Spent 18 months in prison camp. Would be 100-years old within the next few weeks. If anyone has old photos of the plane and crew, I would love to get a copy. Thanks

Hi Julie,
Did you ever receive a photograph? I’m with a historic group trying to get a photograph of all the bombers that served with the 381st Bomb Group. This plane is one of the few that we are still missing. Would love to hear from you.
Thank you!
