William H. Nabors, Hulon Whiddon, Walter Moseley and Milford (Chum) Londo in Naples after reaching 50 missions. 9 September, 1944. I'd be interested to see if anyone recognizes the restaurant in the hillside behind them to confirm location. There's a chance this may be on the Isle of Capri as well. Will try to confirm.

Three airmen of the 389th Bomb Group stand with a B-24 Liberator used as a Flight Assembly Ship. Image via Tim Bivens. Handwritten caption from Bivens: 'My friend remembers it being named "Bucksheesh Benny" that it was used to fly Jack Benny around USA shows. Says it flew in North Africa with Benny and was eventually assigned to 389th as a hack and later as a form-up ship. He thinks it was originally with another group (possibly 376th or 98th).' Handwritten caption on reverse: '389th BG Form-up ship.'
