I have a friend who's father was a crewman on a Liberator over Ploesti. His aircraft was later shot down and he spent the rest of the war in a prison camp. I would like to know if there is a site that would contain the letter/number designators found on the side of these aircraft that my friend could use to find his father's stricken bird, crew, history, etc.?

read the directions on the front page before posting on the forums. You will probably be able to post directly on the heavy bombers forum since U do not know what bomb group the gent was in ?

there are many accomplished researchers here as well as vets. I post quite a bit only becuase of my Luftwaffe database which I open freely for the veterans and their families visiting this choice site.....

good luck !
