My father William C. Haddock did one mission in Sleepy Time Gal, most of the rest in Homesick Angel

I just found this incredible resource. have spent 2 days gathering information my grandfather wouldn’t talk about. He flew in the Sleepy time gal in 3/21/45 as a waist gunner. I would love to find more pictures if possible as we know very little of his service until finding this site. Thank you again
