USAAF B-17 Training Camp, Alexandria, LA c.1944
Uncle Eli and B-17 Crew. Written on back of photo: “Back Row – Aerial Gunners; Front Row – L to R: Olson, first pilot, Jones, co-pilot, London, Navigator, Potts, Bombardier.” Final stage of training before joining the 91st Bomb Group, 401st Squadron in Bassingbourn, UK.
It appears my father Robert Potters flew with Eli on the 1/3/45 raid on Cologne. The ball turret gunner was Glen Felton. Can anyone confirm this?
Sorry, the date of the mission was 1/24/45. Target was Cologne. My father Lt. Robert Potters was the pilot, Eli was the navigator. I would like to know any more information you might have about this.
