I'm doing a research project on my uncle, 2LT Robert C. Frazier, who was the Navigator on the B-29 "Were Wolf" with the 73rd B.W, 497th Bomb Group, 870th Bomb Squadron. Him and his crew were shot down on January 27, 1945 while bombing the Mushashino Engine factory, out side of tokyo. 5 managed to bail out, but died as a result of illness, and execution at the Tokyo prison.
I'm trying to locate a mission report, his military records, as well as some info on the 497th. I'd like to eventualy write a book on the 497th B.G. and maybe the 73rd BW with all the crews listed, aircraft, missions, etc... That's my ever lasting project. Any one have any ideas where to get this info?
Here's the links for some pics that i've put up:

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

S: Took hammer away from midget.
