They were from my father’s squadron, “Bombs Away” 321st, of the “Jolly Rogers” 90th bombardment group, heavy, Fifth Air Force.

The Jolly Rogers kicked jap ass.

Here is a web page with details about this plane and crew:

Kinda disturbing to read that four the the crew members were executed by the Japanese 1 to two weeks after the plane was shot down.
