Hello, wonderful site you provide. The Flight engineer/top turret gunner, Jerry Wolf, is a neighbor of mine in northern Virginia (near Washington DC). I had the pleasure of visiting him recently, and he often speaks at veterans’ events. An excellent video of him is provided in this “Web” link.

Leon Walker is my grandfather. He lived in Arlington, TX and passed away way back in 1985.
