My Dad (Ray J. Dunphy, Navigator - Standing far
right) passed away 26 Aug
99. "Dunphy's
Nuthouse" was painted under the navigator window. Christened PALLAS ATHENE in
honor of the WACS who had served, and nicknamed "The GI
JANE". She served at Wendling, during all of 1944. They flew 3 missions
on D-Day, grouping with whomever they could find and hitting
secondary targets, because the weather was so bad.
