Correspondence with Robert Hahn's son, Bill: 'In one of the photos my father is with one other man leaning on his shoulder. I think this man's name is Luis F. Martinez of Puerto Rico as I have some correspondence between them after the war. Possibly Luis was also in the 8th Army Air Force in some role.'
