Glenn Oster the CP was my uncle. I have two photos of the B17 he flew. One picture was taken of the plane by the Germans on the ground after the hard crash landing after the Muster Raid , October 10 1943. The photo was given to my uncle 45 years after the war by his bombardier Jack E. Nosser. The successful crash landing photo shows why the crew became POW’s. My uncle being the CP helped all survive the crash landing. God bless him.

Hi Geoff,
My father, Ian Hawkins wrote books on the Mighty 8th and knew your grandad very well. He visited us in England while visiting the air museums. I have many letters that your grandfather wrote over the years. I would be happy to scan and send you if of interest (there are a lot though!). I just need your email address…
Regards James Hawkins

My grandfather was Herschel Rasco. Is there any way for you to email me the photos you have? My grandfather passed way November 1, 2002. He us buried in Birmingham Alabama and had a beautiful military burial.

Jim, Albert E. Drouhard (not the spelling „Grouhard“) was my uncle („Tot“ as we knew him). I, too, would very much appreciate the two photos you mention. I think he ended up in Stalag Luft 1, and was released in Oct, 1944, through Gothenburg, Sweden, on the M.S. Gripsholm. Thanks so much!
