Looking for info on 97th 5th Wing 341 Bomb Sqd crew 3022 B-17 Foggia Italy John Red - 05/03/2009 06:30:59 PM ( #1 )
I am researching  the above named person for my 92 year old Aunt in Canada-John Red was her brother. He was a POW in Germany #6830 POW number.  There is a complete crash report and follow-up on footnote.com.  I am trying to find additional info on him for my Aunt. I am retired ANG(124th Wing Boise, Idaho)  Any assistance would be appreciated. His personal info is as follows 
 John Red, DOB-1/1/1924--Service #17067131---POW# 6830----USAAF 15th Air Force Foggia Italy----97th Bomb Group---5th Wing---341st Bomb Squadron-----Crew#3022   Shot down 16th July/1944 over Vienna-Aspern---imprisioned at Dulag-Luft/Stalag Luft    
  Aircraft info--
B-17G --Serial# 44-6187-----shot down by flak. Looking for Aircraft photos/ nose art/anything.  I believe all the crew survived after bailing out and being captured.
