This was my Dad’s aircraft. He was the flight engineer. I have a photo of the May-B Bay-B with the crew but there is no place to attach it so please e-m for copy.

My father, George B. Rader, was Bombardier on the May-B Bay-B, probably after this picture was taken. He was credited with 53 missions and received the DFC while on the May-B Bay-B. This is the first picture I have ever seen of the May-B Bay-B. Thank you for posting.

My father, George B. Rader, was a Bombardier on the May-B Bay-B probably later on. He was credited with over 50 missions and received the DFC while flying on this plane. This is the only picture I have ever seen of the May-B Bay-B. Thank you for posting.
