The backside (photo included in this collection) names all of the members in his squad: William H. Marra (himself, pictured front row L to R), Mike Wojicicki, James B. Echman, Bob Mines, Bob Kincade, Ernest Fiebusch, Tom Gallagher (Pilot), James Atkinson (Bombadier), Daniel Holey Wariguton. I hope I spelled all of these names correctly.
