My Father, Robert W. Zobac (Waist
Gunner), flew this plane back to the states in May, 1945, with his crew and some
extra ground crew passengers. The crew trained together at Mt. Home, ID in late
1944. They took the ocean liner "Il de France" over to England
in early Jan, 1945. Their first mission was in the middle of Feb.
