B-24 Liberator
Known as 193 I-Bar, this aircraft was received by the 67th squadron, 44th bomb group on 6 June 1944 and survived 83 missions to be returned to the Zone of the Interior (USA) on 27 May 1945. The picture is of Sgt. Jack L. Booth, 193 I-Bar's tail gunner with the 67th 14 June 1944 until 3 August 1944, doing a little house keeping. The photo is from my father Radio Operator/Gunner T/Sgt Woodrow Peterson who flew all 30 of his missions with Sgt. Booth as members of the Lt. William Gilbert Crew.
