- Other information
I wrote a book about my dad's WWII squadron, and gathered photos from 102 sources, and many families had this photo. It appears in my book The Thirsty 13th. All the people who shared the photo with me understood they were giving me the right to use it as I would like. It was also at Maxwell AFB in the Air Force Historical Research Agency library - previously part of the Army.
