Hey, all. though this might be of interest to you guys. This is a personal record book keep by a B-25 crewman I knew. Not an official one per say but but a little leather book that John keep through his multiple tours. His name was John Ferry of Hanson. Massachusetts. I believe he was 92 when he passed a few years back. Very quiet and unassuming man that rarely talked about his service. His son passed these photos on to me to share with you guys. In his descriptions the "h" and "j" are the models along with the tail number of each bird. Notice the total number of missions he flew on! Later on he records the total flight times and medals as well. A peek into a largely forgotten part of WW2. His son has some more stuff like this that I'll pass on later.
Enjoy!

Found this today. The dedication flyer for the square in front of his Sunoco station. He looks so young in his service photo!
