RE: 452nd Association, Web site, Reunion details - 04/15/2005 02:21:40 AM
I hope someone can help me get more information on my step-dad's B17. I know he was in the 452 bomb group stationed in Doephamgreen England. I have been looking for weeks to no avail. He passed away in November and he never talked much about the war, so we didn't ask much. I would also like to know how many missions he flew, and the nose art of his plane. He was the radioman. My step-dad's name is Kenneth Raske. Please help. Thank you so much.
