I envy your experience. My father, now deceased, was a bombadier on a
B-17. I don't know the unit, but a picture in front of me shows the
crew and plane with a number '7580' on the nose. They were shot
down, but all survived. They thought they were on friendly ground but
were mistaken and ended up in a stalag for 9 mos. Hope you get to do
it again!
