I stumbled on to this and see my daddy. I'm thrilled. He is Floyd D Turner, the one standing on the right end. The shortest one. Thank you.

Bobby Bollinger is 3rd from right, top row. Anyone else have names?

I have been having trouble logging on, but it seems to have been resolved.i appreciate you response . I think my uncle might be deceased by now. And i only remembered that he flew on a plane with that particular nose art.
If i get another reply from you i'll send my emiail addy.

I'm Robert Bollinger youngest Daughter

My Dad flew in the Milk Run Special. He was a participant on D day. My dad had me much much later in life. In fact he was older enough to be my grandfather. He died at the age of 85 on February 25 2011.
I have pictures and I know some stories. Later in life he went by Bob. He was a school teacher for 55 years. He was far from boring. Very proud to have served his country. Robert D Bollinger.

So happy we got connected here. My photo of your dad is of him in the leather head cover.
I always think of Bobby as unka Bobby, and yes he was never boring.
I live outside the San Francisco Bay Area, on the north side the the Golden Gate Bridge.
