I am the son of LWG Joseph Roman. I have done extensive research on the crew and plane. A couple of corrections are needed: My fathers middle initial is: T. The CP Herbert Berreau was not injured and was a POW. He passed away about 1999/2000. I can supply supporting documents if you want to email me at the above email address.

In Martain Middlebrook books The Schweinfurt-Regensburg Mission on page 326 in Appendix 1 it says F/O Herbert F Berreau was killed of course this page says POIW.

Is the photo of the B-17 going down 100% sure it’s 351st BG. I saw it might be 91st BG Our Gang.

Hello Jason, not sure 100%. It based on the book “Forteresses sur l’Europe” by Roger ANTHOINE. See the comment in the picture source.
