Hello, my name is Gregory Pons. I have written several books about USAAF during WW2 using never-published photos from my collection.
I do have have a grouping which belonged to S/Sgt Anthony Fileccia assigned to 390th BG/569th BS including an original print of the B-17 showing serial #43-38613 and the name "Yard Bird" on her nose. I thought you might be interested in this information. All the best
