My father was the Top Turret Gunner, Bill Johnson, on the Available Jones. I wanted to see if anyone has any photos of the Available Jones and the crew. Thanks in advance. —Mark

My father was Morris M. Jones the pilot in command of Available Jones. I would be interested in getting in touch with you via email. I do have some photographs. Not sure if I have one of the complete crew for the B17? I would love to have one if anyone reading this email. Also, interested in any information that I may not have.

Mark, I just remembered I have a photo of the complete crew and Dad wrote down the position each individual on the photo. Please let me know if that is what you would like.
