Bobby Allen is my grandfather n law and I have his pictures and information. The website has him as Beddy D Allen but he is Bobby Drewery Allen. His pilot Captain Jessup Dave Lowe is referred to on many documents as Dave Lowe or Joseph David Lowe since Jessup was a formal name for Joseph but he actually went by “Dave”.
