I am trying to find out any information that I can about this person.  I was hoping that someone here would be able to identify him and provide any information on him (i.e. where did he serve, how many missions was he on, who served with him, what planes was he on).  The only infomation that I have is the following:
 
US AAF 379th Bomb Group
Robert A. Novotny 36734693 U.S. Army
Possible Home Town: Nashville, TN
WWII Gunner Pilot
 
If you know anything about him and could help, please feel free to post here or to e-mail andrew.huppert@gmail.com directly.  I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for the information but I am not sure that this is him.  Before I posted the request, I spent about 2 hours searching databases and information all over the internet looking for any trace of this person.  I have been here:
 
http://57thbombwing.com/379th_History/310th379th_History.htm
 
and I searched through all of the documents from 1943 to 1945 and there is no record of him in the mission logs or the personnel rosters.  I've been here:

And there is no record in the roster either.  I'm trying to find someone who might have known him...

The 57th Bomb Wing contains the 310th BG's 379th Squadron, not Group. Check out the 379th BG forum on *this* site.
