Correspondence with Ray Luce:
'My former boss stopped by today with a framed photograph of his brother's bomber crew from the war. I see you have another photo of this aircraft [Unconditional Surrender] on your website. The man furthest on the right is Frederick Karl Schultz, my boss' brother. He survived 25 complete missions and made it back home. He also flew on another B24 named, "House of Rumor". Out of courtesy, I did not take them out of the frame, hence the poor quality cell phone pics.'

B-24s 'Unconditional Surrender' and 'House of Rumor' were both part of the 854th Bomb Squadron of the 491st Bomb Group:
