Harry L. Heintzelman and crew. 390th Bomb Group. This photograph, unusual for its positioning of the crew mid-fuselage as opposed to the nose area, affords a good look at the vertically elongated '0' of this aircraft's 601st Bomb Squadron code. This big '0' almost constituted a signature piece for this unit.
