I have a request to help A young lady

Gentleman,
     A young lady has asked for help in finding more info on her Father. This is all she has as of yet.
 
 
My Dad Frank W. Brown was a staff sergeant with the 8th USAAF. He was tail gunner on a B-17 (SLEEPY TIME GAL). With 35 missions over France & Germany. Had a forced landing near Paris shortly after the city had been freed. Another time the engineer was killed & the hydraulic brake pump & lines were punctured & the liquid in the cylinders was lost.The crew was able to repair the lines & poured pineapple juice to fill cylinders & they found tail wheels & right aileron were gone all due to flak.
 
I realize this isn't much but I have seen you guys perform miracles before & I will say thanks to all who try to help on her behalf.

A 381st bomb group plane. Suggest post in that forum. Apologies for brief response. If nobody picks this up in that forum I'll be very surprised!!

I believe there are around or at least six groups that had a  B-17 Sleepy Time Gal but I am not totally sure. I tried the 381st but found no Frank W. Brown that was a tail Gunner.  Ill research a little more.

Michael I think you are correct I found a photo of the aircraft & it is the same as in her clippings.

Photos of three different crews with Sleepy Time Gal.  Any chance one of these men is Sgt Brown?

It is not clear if these refer to different Frank W Brown's.  They don't list a service number.
 

Hi there,
 
I wonder if you were able to find his enlistment data from among the NARA AAD Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File, ca. 1938 - 1946

What year was he born?

Frank W. Brown is listed on page 695 in Chaplain Browns book. I also have other photos - Nolan crew for example but I don't want to swamp this forum with photos.

I can't believe that Dreambaby's tail number is just one off from my Dad's Aircraft. My Father was with the 379th BG & was assigned to the Swamp Fire 42-32024
