Re: Halifax's American crew ?

Hello Richard,
Thanks for the reply.
I was not sure of the men in the picture being "air-crew" as you will be aware US Bomber-crews were usual to be 9 or over in number and this only shows 7 which would be normal for Halifax "crew". I am aware of US airmen flying on ops with RAF and Canadian crews but just wondered if a full US crew did fly a Halifax at some time for whatever reason, maybe just returning a returned and repaired a/c to the RAF base it departed on ops from.
And as you say perhaps the RAF crew just got a change of clothes from the Americans while on their base ?
Thanks again
Alex
