Great shots Paul. 4th photo down; caption in upper right says, "....from 12th CCU...". Google has let me down.Any ideas what C.C.U. stands for? I'm thinking "U" is for unit.

Off hand only thing that comes to mind would be coastal command unit but don't think that's right

Went through several USAAF websites, nada. I should have said "Post #57 - 4th photo" to make it easier to find

There was a 16th Combat Camera Unit with the USAAF so there had to be a 12th...
