hello. my dad passed away 3 months ago and I asked my step mother this morning ‘what was the name of dads b-17?’ she said the name was ‘the uninvited’. my dad flew 35 missions as a bombardier and she said my dad came up with the name and the crew voted on it. the name ken wall certainly sounds familiar. does robert (bob) crowe sound familiar?
thank you, bill crowe
