Added nickname "Possible DUPLICATE" so an admin can check out this person.
This photo comes from the niece of Jack P. Fariss, who was the ball turret gunner on the Hiram C. Skogmo crew.
She gave me permission to post this photo on the internet.
I have been researching this crew for years - Skogmo was the pilot, NOT co-pilot.
