Gruber (Co-Pilot - Standing Middle)
This photo (taken with
my camera) shows our crew at Hardwick in England in early
August, 1943, just prior to flying to Benghazi to rejoin
our Group after the low level Ploesti mission. We had just
acquired a new Navigator and a new airplane which we named ROUNTRIP. Upon arrival at Benghazi, the powers that
be, took away our ROUNTRIP and assigned IRON
ASS (42-40769) to us.
