Hello...I was going through some books yesterday and came across 3 pictures from WW2.They were from a friend of mine that died back in 1999. I have never seen photos like these before.The plane that shows what it is is a B-17 with a U in a triangle,the numbers 297075,and below there is a V.The front of it is onfire.I think there are actual bombs falling from it.There are other planes in the picture but not as close.The other 2 pictures show ALOT of planes in the clouds and the one shows ALOT of bombing going on.Howard had written on the back of the one:749th Sqdn. and 457th Grp. Just thought I should find out what I could about them and tell someone.I tried to attach them to this but I couldn't. Thank you for reading this. Hilda
