Doolittle, Rome - August 13, 1943

During the second attack on Rome, that of August 13, 1943, Gen. James Doolittle, was aboard a B-17F of the 32th Squadron - 310th Bomb Group, which is marked by the nickname Dirty Gertie..What was the name of the crew chief? And the other members?

Thanks to all!

By "crew chief" do you mean the name of the pilot that day and the other crew members?
"Crew Chief" is normally taken to mean the ground crewman heading up the team responsible of the aircraft on the ground.

Check your references on the group.
I believe your looking for an aircraft from the 352nd BS, 301st BG. possible serial number 42-5143.
