You got any stories about him? Any pics you care to share? I'd really like to see them.

 

Here's an old thread from this site about my uncle: http://www.ww2f.com/photographs-documents/42120-some-family-history.html

I'm assuming you have the the 487th history book by Ivo de Jong and the newer photographic history? Also assuming you got the crew photos you posted from Lee at the 487th website?

 

Uh no, no and no. lol I'm pretty new at this and to be honest I recieved most of my research help from the good ol' boys on this site *shout out to Alan* I will check on the book, can I have the title please? I really liked your post. I wish my uncle or grandfather were alive when I was little to ask questions.

 

Check out this website: 487th Bomb Group (H) Association At the bottom of the page, there's a tiny link: Lee which will put you in touch with Lee Hauenstein, site webmaster. He will be able to provide you with the details of the 6/7/44 mission that I read in the book. The book is titled "The History of the 487th Bomb Group (H)" but is currently out of print. A second book is "Photo History of the 487th Bomb Group (H)" which is still available at the website. I didn't find any photos, in either book, of the planes or crews other than what you've posted. Also tried a used book source for the history but had no luck. Lee may have some ideas if you want a copy. Site also has links to both the 487th Yahoo and ArmyAirForces discussion groups. Spend some time there, it's full of info.
