If you still have the Photos of the Our Gang Bomber, My Father in Law Jim Cobb was the Radio Operator on the Schweinfurt Raid and was a survivor. He died in Fremont North Carolina in 1995. I am married to his Daugher "Libbie" and just celebrated my 40th Wedding Anniversary with the love of my life.
Would love to get a copy of the photos from you if possible.

The pilot in the cockpit is my dad. His crew flew 25 missions before returning home and turning the plane over to the crew that flew the Schweinfurt Raid.

James - I believe my grandfather Arthur L. Smith flew with your father as a radio operator. I am working on typing out his life story (he hand wrote it) and he mentions his Captain James Smith flying Our Gang and how much he trusted and respected him.
