my grandfather was a top turret gunner on B-17 "Marzidoats" 3rd Air Div.
45th Bomb Wing
96th Bomb Group
338th Squadron..............Squadron Code "BX"
aircraft serial # AC42-102454
he was stationed at Snetterton between April 1944 to Oct. 1944 when he and his crew completed 31 missions and sent home. My mom was in contact with the waist gunner Joe Yantz until he passed a few years ago. He provided some mission stories but I am now looking for mission dates, successes, enemy aircraft shot down etc.,
any help would be greatly appreciated.
