Glatton airbase, home of the 457th Bomb Group, photographed from a B-17 Flying Fortress. Image via Leslie R. Peterson. Written on slide casing: 'Glatton A/d & Conington Church.' My father took this slide during his tour, 1 August 1944 through 31 December 1944. He had access to color slide film and took quite a few. There weren't many color snapshots in WWII. I grew up seeing this slide many times. 20 of his 35 missions were flown on 42-97535 (radio operator/gunner), although this isn't necessarily from that aircraft.
