Thankyou for looking, what I have sharing with you, Is very historic and very limited In quantity and could not be done today. Most of my Ploesti Raid research was done 10-15 years ago. This was a project I was working on possibly a book or article but I gave up as working on my Atomic bomb Book took up too much of my time. In sharing these historic photos with you It Is my hopes that I am preserving what these courageous men accomplished. These photos are on photo paper, were copied off original negatives and developed by a professional photo laboratory. What I am listing tonight Is an autographed crew photo of the first crew to fly the B-24 "The Witch" It is autographed by the Pilot Glade Jorgensen. The autograph is actual, real, not a scan, reproduction or forgery. With this you will also receive a second photo of the nose art of "The Witch" The crew photo was taken on the Co-Pilot side of the plane. You will also receive an Identification of the crew, copies of news articles abut their missions and a typed 3 page story of "The Witch" by Glade. The crew returned back to the states after flying 300 hours of combat missions, turning the plane over to the Darlington Crew. What Is Important about these photos Is that "The Witch" was flown to Ploesti on Aug 1,1943 by the Julian Darlington crew and the plane was shot down by fighters read more
