(photo courtesy of Col. William Busch) The crew of the “Cindy” a B-17 bomber prior to its August 1943 downing by anti-aircraft fire over western Germany. According to retired Air Force Col. William Busch, the plane’s navigator (second from left in the back row), all of the “ground pounders” or gunmen in the front row perished in a fire in the back of the plane when it was hit. Busch identifies the front of the plane flight crew that makes up the back row as the engineer, himself, bombardier, co-pilot and pilot. The engineer was injured and Busch lost track of him. The other four were taken prisoner by the Nazis.
