Thank you for your response. Yes I have many pics of him and the other crew members. My dad was a amature photo nut and he developed many pics in their hut on the base. Who was your grandfather.

My great uncle, Harry ‚Ross‘ Robinson, piloted this plane for most of his 35 missions.

* Not the one where it crashed – that was his co-pilot flying that day.

Hello,
My grandfather was John „Jack“ Corcoran. I believe he was also piloting this plane. From what I understand, the plane was named the Gloria Ann, after my grandmother.
If this sounds familiar and anyone has pictures, I’d love to see them as well.
Thank you,
Molly

My Uncle Jim Wynkoop was on the Take It Easy, I think when it crashed down over Germany. He was shot in the leg and was a POW.

I don’t see your uncle among the crew of „Take it Easy“ that was shot down over France. My father, George Sherman, was the belly gunner and he was taken prisoner. Was there more one B-17 called „Take It Easy“
