Hello and thank you for posting information about the B-17s and her crews.
My father-in-law (Dwight Davis) who passed away last year was a tail gunner on a B-17 named Vie’s Guys which was shot down over Germany.
We have a picture of a B-17 and her crew, but unfortunately Dwight was not in that particular photo.
The library of congress sent a video crew and documented Dwight’s whole military experience – from enlistment to return to the US after his time as a POW.
Any additional info about the Vie’s Guys history, her crew or photos would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pat …

Hello Pat,

Kind regards

Hello, my grandfather Abel L. Dolim was on the Vie’s Guys. And to my knowledge he nor his crew were shot down. He went on to write a book titled “Yesterday’s Dragons.
