My father was the crew chief for the Emma. He named her after the woman who was to be my mother. He retired in 1959 as an E-8 with 20 years of service.

I have a picture of the Emma — it shows the nose, the nose turret and the name of the plane. I can send a scan of it if you want it.

Hi Jim- my dad, Fred Dornblaser was the Emma navigator with the Bailey crew. I would love a picture of Emma if you have one? Thanks!
