I do my best spellcheck after I hit the save button. Added an underscore in 1st sentence between 02 and Standard
Personal logs of Wyatt, JW waistgunner and Shelby, JH Tailgunner who were crew of Pilot Schreiner, JB on this airframe.
Cross referenced to Loading Sheets for 447th BG Rattlesden and confirmed by last three digits of tail code 830 from 1944-12-30->1945-02-24. Copies on file should the need arise.
