Hello. Im contacting you in hopes of any photos I could find on this group. My Uncle was Jim Growblewski and have been searching for any photos For my mother. His Brother (my grandfather) Francis Growbleski was also in the service. Any help would be greatly appreciated

My dad was Marvin Lander, pilot on the flight with your uncle that was shot down. They parachuted out and were POWs in Germany. I will see if I can find a photo. I think our family does have at least one or two.
