Jack Sather in England, 1945
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008My grandpa Jack was stationed in England as a B-17 mechanic during World War II. I have always really liked this photo, but it has not aged well. Jack is standing on the wing with his hands on his hips, third from the right. There is a handwritten note on the back:
487 Bomb Group
836 Bomb Squad.
England 1945
I believe the photo was taken at Lavenham Army Air Force Station 137 in Suffolk, England. The plane is a B-17G, number 44-8039.
The full-sized scan is 5157×2201.
