This is the exact photo that I have from my dad who flew this plane! – How is that possible? – Maybe someone uploaded/downloaded my photo? – I also have 2 others of it in flight! – Funny thing is that the info above says that it arrived in Thurleigh (306th) on December 30, 1943, yet my dad was already there in November of 1943. – I had seen before where it was named “St. Anthony,” but my dad said they called it “Ya cahn’t miss!” (funny story there!) – It IS my dad’s plane – it is painted with its number showing on his bomber jacket! – Let me know if you want these photos!
