My uncle, Lennis Armstrong, was the pilot of My Bonny for two missions over Germany. His first was Mission ID:253 on 2/09/45 to Weimar, Germany. His second was Mission ID:256 on 2/17/45 to Frankfort, Germany. He then was the pilot of Who Dat (46971-M) for twenty-four missions including Operation Chowhound. He did pilot Chapel in the Sky for one mission and a second as co-pilot. If anyone has any photos of Who Dat and/or their crew, please feel free to contact me.
