Hello my name is Kelly Hall, I interviewed Ltcol. Wallace Storey, I am making a collage for him and he really liked a pic of his B17 in the air that you had, tail #678, wanted to see if you could help me out. Thank you
My dad Jesse W. McLaughlin was a tail gunner in a B17 he was in the 303 Bomb Group they were the Hells Angels he flew 30 missions over Europe he was credited with 5 kills on German fighters he was my hero and the best wingshot ever
Thanks for sharing this photo with me. I agree with you that the man back row far left of the crew photo is the same man as in this photo you sent.
I’m going to share this with other 384th Bomb Group researchers, and I imagine they will also agree. I will update my blog post and the crew photo description in the 384th’s photo gallery and will add your name as the person who identified Murphy. Could you also tell me where you found your photo of Murphy? I’d like to also credit that source.
Thanks again and thank you for remembering our WWII veterans!

I believe William C Murphy is in the back row, far left, in your group picture. I have sent you an email with a low quality picture of him attached.
