Dear Snautzer01, that is my dad standing with his back to the camera wearing the Toni-7 jacket. I'm trying to find out if any of the crew are still alive today as he would be 98 years old and was 22 years old at the time this photo was taken. I sadly discovered George Grisham, the pilot and James Gill, the co-pilot have now passed away. The greatest generation. Thanks for any help!

That is my dad standing next to the great crew chief William Fager on the wing of the Toni-7. Are there any of the crew still alive today? Great photo - thanks for posting. I already have that photo from my mom.

Yes! He's standing right next to Fager the crew chief, who is leaning against the cockpit! I have the photo in my art studio but can't remember how I got it. I think my mom had it in her photo albums. The photo on the tarmac I don't have but I have been looking at and wondering what he was saying to the crew. They are all smiling except for Grisham the pilot who looked tired lol. He was probably, as the bombardier on you tube said, the "old man" of the crew at 26 years old. My oldest brother has the Toni-7 jacket and the painting of the Hollywood model/actress they named the B-17 after has faded. Yes, that is info I gleaned from Grisham's obituary. Sad to see this generation passing away.
