There is this picture on fold3.com which shows a Rodney A Manning, bombardier on the "Terrible Texan".
If the right "Manning" you can download it for free.

Have you tried searching the transcribed 321st History files?
Available here: http://57thbombwing.com/321stBombGroupHistory.php

Also, try searching the 57th Photo Gallery.
http://57thbombwing.com/gallery2/main.php

A few "Manning" related photos show up, one "Doc," one with a Peyton. Any relation to Eli?
Good luck in your search!

I am looking for any images or information regarding 2 Lt. Rodney Allen Manning (aka Rodney A. Manning), who was a bombardier in the 446 BS. Records indicate that he occasionally flew with the 445 and 447 BS. My wife, Reeve, is Rod's daughter. Rod passed away in 1989 and we have very little information regarding his military service.

Rod left the 446 in August/September 1943 to return to the U.S. mainland, where he attended pilot training in Mustang Class 44-k at El Reno, OK. One of my wife's only possessions from her father is his Mustang 44-K class book. We intend to scan and post this book online in the future. We also know that he attended Bombardier/Nav Class 42-13 at Kirtland.

Again, any information or photos would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
