Memories from Rattlesden
I have recently posted nearly 100 photos,
news clippings and memorabilia from my grandfather's
scrapbook of his service in the 447th BG at Rattlesden,
England.
Click here to see a small slice of our family history
while Grandpa flew 30 missions on Ol Scrapiron during WWII.
Here's a
second batch of photos as well.
I have added a page that features
color photos
taken in 1974 of the buildings and air strip at
Rattlesden and nearby Stowemarket. I believe they were given
to my grandfather by Ol' Scrapiron crewmate Gordon Todd when
we all got together for the B-17 50th anniversary gala in
1985.
For those who are interested, I also have posted a
bunch of B-17
photos from my trip to England (just a small portion of
more than 1,200 photos taken at several British museums)
And check out the
massive tribute I am building to take to the 447th BG's
final reunion at Rattlesden during the summer of 2009.
