The photo where the two men have 25 painted on them is actually a photo of the Piccadilly Commando II s/n 42-30707

Hello Tristin,
I am not sure. I checked the mission report of 306th BG for July 10th, 1943. B-17 42-5729 was listed in the mission report; http://www.306bg.us/MISSION_REPORTS/10jul43.pdf
#42-30707 is not the list.

That is my great uncle on the right in the photo. He was indeed in the 306th BG, 369th BS.
