Informaton on Grandfather (15th 97th bg,341st)

Hello,
 
 I am new to this site and im not sure if this post is in the right area or not.  I am seeking informaiton on my Grandpa his name is John Daniels also known as "Jack", he was from Raritan, New Jersey.  I will throw as much information out as possible and if anyone has any icite or information please let me know.  Also if I can help somebody in there quest please let me know, as I have numerous documents I came across in my Grandpas Footlocker.  He was a B-17 pilot 2nd Lt. and from the documents i've found he served in the 15th, 5th wing, 97th bomb group, 341st squadron.  He served from June 27 1944-March 11 1946.  I'm not sure which field he was stationed at but My family says it was in Italy.  In his discharge papers it talks about him doing combat missions in Linz, Austria, Padua, and Italy, also some later missions in support of the 5th and 8th armies.  I also came along a lengthy roster of various crews listing names and crew numbers it showed his crew number as #9479 and also lists the members in his crew.  I also have a picture of him and his crew but it is the opposite side of the nose art and name, but does have a big number on the side beign 7111, im not sure if that means anything as far as serial numbers.  I vaguely remember his airplane being named possibly "naughty lady" or even "babe".  It was very hard for my Grandpa to talk about experiences in the war but 2 storys stick out in my mind where they were on a mission and one of the engines was shot out and they had to fall out of formation and were escorted back by "little friends"?  Also where they were on a mission and fighter planes destroyed the radio and killed a crew member.  I also remember my Grandma telling me that there were some black people that were segregated on base but my grandpa still ate and conversed with them sometimes.  Again if anyone has information to relay please do so, and let me know if I can help someone in there quest as I said I came across quite a few documents.  I will also try to post a couple of pictures I found.  Two of which are on missions one with some enemy fighters in the distance, and the other they are going through flak, then the other one is of my Grandpa sitting in some sort of jeep looking vehicle on base.  Thank You, any information is appreciated.

Kort...If he was in the 97th BG, he was stationed at Amendola AAF, which was about 10 miles east of Foggia, on the road to Manfredonia; which was, and is, a small fishing village on the Adriatic Coast. Manfredonia is about 3 miles east of Amendola. (Foggia is at the level of Naples on the Italian map).
(The 2nd BG and the 97th BG shared the field at Amendola).
Amendola is now a main airfield and can be seen on Google Earth.

I was stationed at Tortorella, which is 3 miles WEST of Amendola.
