Hi all, I was given the attached picture along with some gunner's wings that came from an estate sale. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this. I was in contact with the 6th BG Association, but never heard back from their historian. The picture is of the Lazin crew, I don't know the squadron. The picture and wings were from the estate of Sgt. Unclebach, the right gunner.

Back Row L to R: Lt. Steuwie(sp?), Radar Operator; Sgt. Unclebach, Right Gunner; Lt. King, Navigator; Lt. Lazin, Airplane Commander; Sgt. DeBowno(sp?), Tail Gunner; F/O Head, Co-Pilot.
Front Row L to R: Sgt. Allen, Left Blister; F/O Byers (sp?), Bombardier; Sgt. Reed, Ring Gunner; Sgt. Weber, Radio; Sgt. Carrigan(sp?), Engineer.

The Airplane commander, Dragi C. Lazin, stayed in the USAF, I found mention of him commanding the 305th Rescue Squadron as a Maj. in 1959. He is now deceased. Just curious about what squadron, and any other info on the crew. Thanks.

The squadron is the 24th.  Can't tell which plane though.

Can someone help me with info about Lt. Lazin's middle name, home town etc?
