William “Bill” Ashbury Rush was my grandfather (moms dad) that passed a month before I was born in ‘80. I have books that show your dad and the rest of the crew at the house and I’m always looking for more information.

My grandfather flew Co-Pilot for 2 missions in March 44. Bill Mayer is just a blip but part of the history of this ship. Are there any photos of her? I’m revamping my book for republication and would like to include her.

I’d be interested in any photos. I just found a ‘Lucky Bastard’ certificate for my grandfather, Archie F Hunt. It says he was an engineer gunner for Donna Lou II

Hey, dad was top turret gunner on Donna Lou II, Archie Hunt. If you have a picture of the crew I would love to have one. Names for any of the people in the photo would also be great! Thanks

My Grandfather was the bombardier on this plane Arch Woofter. I have the “lucky bastard” mission list if any other family members want a scan of it, just send me an email.
