UPL 41670
IMAGEHenningsen Crew; 447th Bomb Group, 710th Squadron; photo taken at Rattlesden, England. Standing, L-R: Doyle Shields, Robert Manuel (?), Eldon Henningsen, Jerry Rothstein, Eugene Wulfe (?),; Kneeling, L-R: William HOlloman, Harry Long, Lee Plant, Otis Lumpkin, John Kates. Although the crew is posed in front of 43-38731 (Blythe Spirit), that aircraft was assigned to the 711th squadron and is probably just a convenient backdrop.
