September 7, 1944 - 155th Photo Rec. Sqdn

[Henofred]

Hello/Bonjour,

I am looking for a good picture of Lt. Lloyd J. VERKET aircrew [...Lt. David THOM; S/Sgt Cecil C. BAILEY]. F-3A serial 43-21457, crew who took pictures of a large German column on September 7, 1944 between Chateauroux and Issoudun, France. I have a picture on microfilm from the unit [155th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron], but she is unusable. Thank you beforehand.

All the best,
Frederic

Hi Fred. There is a reasonable photo of Verket with Sgt. Holden in Tom Ivie's "Patton's eyes in the sky" and a quite detailed account of the 7 Sept. mission by Verket himself, plus one of his photos. There is also a photo of Verket, Thom and Bailey with the tail of 43-21457 taken on the same day.

Would you like me to try to scan one of them in when I have time?

Hello Nick,

Of course! I would be very pleased to have a copy of these pictures. Thank you for your offer and note that in this holiday season, I am in no hurry. ;o)

All the best,

Thanks
