5 April 1943: Archbishop of New York Francis J. Spellman (L) and 322nd Bomb Sq chaplain Fr. Daniel Hunt visit with CAPT Oscar D. O'Neil prior to his departure for a mission to Antwerp. Spellman, as head of the New York Archdiocese, was also vicar for the U.S. military forces worldwide - a "double duty" which had been in effect for that office since 1917. A separate position, titled Archdiocese for the Military, was not established until 1985.Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 315 Made 13 Jun 2009 |

5 April 1943: The original caption states that CAPT O'Neil's crew was flying "Hellzadroppin." O'Neil flew 42-5070 (coded LL-A), more popularly known as "Invasion 2nd" on the day's mission to Antwerp. This photo was taken during William's Wyler's filming for his documentary, "Memphis Belle." Outtakes from that footage clearly indicate that the ship seen here is "Invasion 2nd" - this "Hellzadroppin" nose art appears on the side opposite its more commonly recognized nickname.Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 315 Made 13 Jun 2009 |

SGT Marion Gilbert, 91st Bomb Group, with his 1/32 scale hand-carved model of a B-17G Flying Fortress. The aircraft call letters, G-KT, represent the builder and his hometown: "Gilbert, Knoxville, Tennessee." The radio call number, 91844, might possibly identify the date he finished the project.Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 279 Made 13 Jun 2009 |

11 April 1944: Upon return from a raid to Stettin, 1LT George M. Brooks, 323rd Bomb Sq, 91st BG, prepares for his customary end-of-tour "dunking." It was bad math, however; missions he had flown with the RAF didn't count toward his total after all. Today's trip aboard B-17G 42-97276 "Sweet 17 - Spirit of St. Louis" (coded OR-S) was only his 26th. He wouldn't finish his tour until the 22nd with a sortie to Hamm, aboard the venerable "Nine O Nine" - but this dunking counted.Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 248 Made 13 Jun 2009 |
