My father is Lt. Col. Norman F. Courage. He was a bombadier in the 14th AAF, 97th BG, 414 Squadron. He flew about 50 missions in the B-17 "Flying Fortress".  Can anyone help me with some information of any kind concerning him or others in his group? Anything would be helpful.

      He was in Lt. Sherm Minner's crew, which I flew with a couple of times. I don't remember Lt. Courage, but my overall impression of the crew was good. I have a copy of Lt. Minner's mission diary, supplied by his son Bryan.

        Sure, I know Norm. I have talked to him a few times. He was the Bombadier on my father's crew. 414th Sqdn/ 97th BG.
        Some photos and diary references. I'll gather up somethings for you.
        Where do you live now? How is Norm doing?
