My Grandfather, John D. Hayes, was a co-pilot from April to November 1944. I have some pictures. There is a small museum of the planes pieces at a church in Poland where it crashed.

I am producing a documentary which includes a section about Tail Gunner Sgt. Alvin Ellin who was murdered by an SS police officer when St Francis crew was captured. I am looking for some photos with other crew members, the St Francis and of Sgt Ellin.
