Found some wartime photos of my Grandfather and his brother

Sat Mar 29, 2014 6:23 pm

There's a few pics of my Grandpa (Flew B-24s) and his brother (B-29 Navigator), a scan of a news article that is in a photo album and pics from an unknown museum and year... Let me know what you think, hope you enjoy.

These are great! I was having a conversation earlier today about this same subject...about that vast quantities of photos that are in private collections and have never been seen publicly. Glad to see that these found their way to you. Too many of these photo collections end up in the dumpster after the person who took the pictures passes away.

I couldn't throw them away, I have too much pride for my family's history to just get rid of things like this.

This is gen. Eisenhower's RB-25J s/n 43-4030, so the museum IMHO must be The South Dakota Air and Space Museum.
