[Leroy Audrey]

Bill:
As  side note to your Kitzingen photos. I was the deputy lead navigatior
flying with Lt. Holmes as pilot;. Glen R. Swenson was flying lead navigator.
Glen resides outside of Grand Rapids, Minn. in the lakes country of northern
Minnesota. A gunner on his crew lives in St. Paul , a member of the Minn.
chapter of 8 th AFHS.
The second set of smoke bomb trails must be from the 360th high sqdn,which
missed  the target on a clear perfect day for a bomb run.
LeRoy Christenson

close

was

high
