No -- no ants, that I remember. But the GF's were all around. I left them on May 15th, in order to enjoy the NJ weather --- yuk

This is the only photo I have. There are five of us in the photo. We had flown over from the USA, and were just into a few of our missions.

One got pregnant on the return to the USA, and soon died. One was my assistant radio operator, who was later transferred to another crew (because we were running out of radio operators) and blown out of the air on our mission to Caen -- where we opened the way through the hedgerows, for the British. (We had previously done the same for our troops at St. Lo.) One decided to quit one morning, after briefing, and we never saw him again. One, our tail gunner, is (or was) in an old age home.

That leaves me. Which one am I?
