My grandfather Bonnie Skloss is 3rd from the right bottom row. He was the tail gunner on that plane. They had mr yank but got some time off and another crew took it. Mr yank was shot down so they got mr yank 2.

Hi Kathy Bensel. I have this picture and a newspaper article about when your Dad slipped on the ice while on leave in Ridgefield Park. It says Lt. Bensel can handle the flak in Germany but not the ice in New Jersey.!! I also have a picture of Paul with Ingrid Bergman but I am having trouble finding it. I am your cousin from Teaneck NJ. My father was Herbie Bensel. Your father was a really nice guy. Great guy.
