: I am doing a web-page for Air Force veteran Robert H Morrison of Canonsburg, Pa. He can not remember squadron or bomb group he was with but he does remember he flew 25 missions out of Watton AFB, England and the name of the B-17s (nose art) was Stormy Weather. The only unit I can associate it with is the 652nd bomb group, 25th bombardment squadron, 8th Air Force. Any info you can give me will be appreciated.

Harry - try the link to the Watton page of my Mighty 8th website below as a start. The 25th BG (Recon) did indeed fly from Watton. Try the link on that page to Control Towers and see if Mr. Morrison's memory is jogged by the photos there.
Best of luck,
