Lt. Robert Seelos B-17 - 09/10/2007 03:55:55 PM
Hello there -
 
Here is a scan of a photo from the book The JG 26 War Diary Volume Two 1943-1945 by Donald Caldwell.  It's a picture of the downed B-17 Mr. Seelos was flying.
 
Hope someone can find some use with it.
 
Regards,
 
Andy

Hi Andy -  Lt. Seelos is the grandfather of a friend of ours.  Thanks for posting that photo - I will send it to her.

Andy, I have written a book about a b17 bomber called The meltin' Pot. Would it be possible to use that photgraph of Montana Power?

Hello Jack -
 
That picture is not mine, I scanned it from a book I bought.  I don't have it with me today, but will see if there is any contact information of the author from that book and pass it onto you.  Hopefully he'll give you premission or know who has the rights to it.
 
Regards,
 
Andy

Hi Andy -
 
You might like to know that as a result of your posting the photo of "Montana Power" and my reply about Lt. Seelos, I was contacted by a man who found in an antique shop a scrapbook kept by Lt. Seelos' mother - it included POW photos, IDs and other items of value to both his family and to history.  The scrapbook was borrowed and never returned so was considered lost forever.  It is now back in the hands of the family.  Thank you for being the catalyst for that reunion.
