Hello all. My dad flew several missions on Evadin Maiden (flight engineer and top turret gunner). I’m looking for any photos of that B-17, especially the nose art. Thanks!

My dad was the radio operator and right waist gunner. He told me the pilot passed his hat around for names, when he got it back there was three. Eighty eight bait, Thin skin, and Evadin maiden. My dad put all three in. He painted a wolf chasing Daisy Mae on the pilots jacket but never got around to painting it on the plane. The name was painted on without the nose art. My sister has several pictures of the plane and crew, I’ll try to get copies.

Hello, I am the proud grandson of August Fritz Niemann, the belly turret gunner. According to his Certificate of Honor he flew 21 missions. An amazing accomplishment. I believe 25 was the magic number. If a crew reached that number, they got a reprieve.

My great uncle (Sam Linden) was the navigator!
