Lt. Hamp Morrison's crew aboard "Tail Wind" at 18,000'; crew's mission #18; 447th mission #57. My father is aboard at his station in the nose flying as Morrison's navigator. Dad never saw this picture...it was obtained recently from another airman's son who had a large number of official Army photographs taken by a photographer assigned to fly with a group from a nearby base. The two groups were flying in combined formations that day, hence this photo was taken and located quite by chance 65-years later.
This aircraft was shot down about 6-months later, 2 November 1944 on a mission to Merseberg. Lt. Robert E. Johnson was the pilot in command that day; 8 were taken POW, 1 was KIA.
