What a superb set of photos! I wonder if the WWII Museum in New Orleans would like to have copies. These photos need to be preserved!
I didn't know there was a WWII museum. Now that I know there's a museum and where it's located I'll contact them and see if their interested, Thank you for that information Ed.

These photos are a part of history, Joe. The B-24 and the brave guys who crewed them played a huge role in winning the war.
The B-24 was the work horse of the war. Thank you for looking Jimjay.

Since you can see the number on the plane in #4 I'm hoping I can find out what happened to it. Thank you for looking wilikioti.
The only number on the plane that I can see is "69" on the forward fuselage which I think is part of the name given to the B24 by the crew. Identification numbers were on the tail fins and you can trace the planes with this number. If we had more of the name it would be possible to trace with it.

My uncle was shot down too, and sat out the rest of the war as a POW. Thanks for posting a photo of your dad's medal.
