Jim,
There is a site dedicated to bombardiers at www.freepages.military.rootsweb.com/~html/indes.html. The site owner, Dave T, will put any information you have about a bombardier on the site and has many books and individual photos of the classes. I have dealt with him several times and he is a class act. I am sure he would like a copy of the class book. I encourage you to contact him. I did not see your dad's information listed and know he would be glad to add it. He does not charge for any of his material.
