From Ralph's daughter:
"My Dad is on the top row second one in from the left. Shortest one on top. The smallest ones were bombers because they fit in the small area. The tall one to the left of my Dad is the pilot. Dad said they were always very tall. We cannot identify the crew members without my Dad being here. Sorry about that. Wish I had that info for you."
