CreditsWithin our RB-29 crew structure, photo credits are due, to some degree, to every member of the crew. While preparing for and flying those missions, we often passed cameras from hand to hand to whomever had the best vantage point. Our special thanks to Charlotte Busch Mitnik, Roland Robitaille, Gordon Berg, Pat Service, and their families, for sharing their related personal experiences in the form of the text and photographic materials presented in sections 7 and 8 of our crew story. Their choice to share their own personal related stories helps to authenticate the foundation for this overall presentation. Thanks also to Earl E. Myers, William F. (Bill) Welch, Robert F. Dorr, Harold (Hal) Austin, William (Bill) Sutton, Robert (Bob) Stadille, Adrian Swain, Howard S. Myers, Jr., Clarence Becker and Rear Admiral Timothy Beard, Bob Weisburn, Dick Sniker, Francis Gary Powers, Jr., Jack Romney, Jesse Beasley, Dr. Stephen Ellison, Kerrin Coyne, Bill Baumer, Wayland Mayo, John Schumacher, Art Humby, Earl Johnson and Bob Linn for their shared memories and information.

Site Navigation NotesThis web site is divided into a number of separate parts. The Introduction pages to each part contains information that will assist you to navigate through the subject matter in a coherent manner. The design of this web site relates more to that of an illustrated book than to what one currently finds in a more typical web site. We hope you will find navigation of this site to be a comfortable experience that will draw you back again and again. Please Note: This website is graphic intensive. Some pages may require a little patience on your part during download. You will find it worth the wait. A special Note: Remember, this web site remains in an “under construction” status. We are sharing this information, as we go, to encourage input and commentary, and provide information that may be of value to family and friends of those who served in support of WW II, the Korean War, the early Cold War and related activities. Feel free to send in your e-mail lists of input, corrections and advice. While we are striving to assemble the larger picture, we will be happy to work on the finer details as time permits.
