FRE 4118
IMAGEThe mission board of the 351st Bomb Squadron, 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts, taken some time after 6 February 1945 as this was the date that Munoz's crew flew their first mission. Navigator Daniel Shaffer (misspelt as Shaeffer on board) flew as Bazin's co-pilot on 10 missions between 22 March 1945 and 6 April 1945, so again, photo was taken some point between these two dates. Handwritten caption on reverse: '100th BG'.

Have added connection to 351st Bomb Squadron record as all pilots were a part of that squadron.
