I have a photo of this plane. My dad was the ball turret gunner on his plan on Mission 234 July 18 1944 over Memmingham Germany.

My grandfather Charles Hollenberg did the Flying Latrine artwork. He was the tail gunner. Still telling tales of these days at 100 years old.

My step-grandfather 1st Lt. R. Q. Hutchens was the pilot of Flying Latrine. I have a couple of photos of it, one with him in it, celebrating his 50th mission, taken by Sgt. Charley Hollenberg-tail gunner.
