Going Back in Time (II)
This is a follow-up to last week‘s photo of Lt. Col. Louis Schiavo (USAF Retired) with the Collings Foundation B-24J Witchcraft. A member of the B-24 Bomb Group (the 467th) at Rackheath, England during 1944, Col. Schiavo was a navigator on B-24s and was the lead nav for his group’s first raid on Berlin in 1944. He flew in the actual Witchcraft on at least one occasion. No edits. Taken with a Canon PowerShot SD800iS. The photo was taken when the Collings Foundation brought the B-24 to Warrenton, VA in October 2009.
