Capt. Robert J. Whitney, from a group photo taken after 30th March [1945] bombing mission to Hannover, Germany. The photo was taken at RAF Sudbury, near Acton, England. Photo is from the US National Archives, and from the official web page of the 835th Bombardment Squadron: https://486th.org/Photos/Crew2/SmithH.htm

This photo, along with many more 835th Air Crew photos, can be found on the 835th Bomb Squadron's official web page at: https://486th.org/Photos/index.htm Note: though the caption under the photo on the 835th web page doesn't mention any of the other men other than Smith and Whitney, from looking at these men, Marvin Lee Lutes stands out quite clearly.
