The name of this plane was Crazy House, not Horse. My father was a waist gunner on this very plane. He had just completed his 50 missions when Isham Teasley crashed on take off. Dad said that was basically to be a training/introductory mission; with a whole crew of rookies.
Great site though. Lots of information. Thx.

Thank you Scott for sharing your father’s story.
I have corrected the name of this B-17.
