B-17G DF-B (42-37779, Pist’l Packin’ Mama) was my father’s aircraft that he flew out of Bassingborn UK. My dad, Capt. Charles A. Holman Jr. flew 31 missions between 12/1/1943 and 4/26/1944 (including his 17th mission over Schweinfurt on 2/24/1944) while in the 324th Bomber Squadron or the 91st Bomb Group (Heavy).
