John Goldfuss; Tail Gunner
Via Lori Goldfuss-Fadil: Drawing made by one of the flight crew. He did an amazing job capturing each of the crew members. My dad [John Goldfuss] , the tail gunner, was given a halo. When I asked him about that, he said he was the good one who always behaved. They named the plane “Leppard’s Cage” after the pilot, Olie Leppard.
Captioned: Ray, Olie, Sarver, Jack, J.W. — Mac Dill 1944
