I believe this AC 43-38981 was the B17 my dad crashed landed in Amien’s France. He was radio operator Robert John Damian. I think the Pilot may be Haskill Hamiter or maybe Edwin Goldwasser. Co Pilot Carl Schwab. Any further info would be greatly appreciated..

Michael, check out my comment on the 407th BS FB page. I clipped a load list from that day. I can’t seem to upload here though.
Hard to read all of the crew. CP must be Morris H Morrell Jr. I will look into this some more
