This crew flew about 20 missions together at the latter end
of the War (1944/45) but seem to have attracted little documentary attention
other than the Operational Record Book reports on their activities. Even photographs are in short supply. I have a confirmed photograph of Sgt Rusiecki
and a possible photograph of W/O Boba but none of any of the others.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
