American pilot identification and Group
Hi all,
Long shot here, trying to identify an American pilot 1st Lieutenant Naylor. The only details I have is he flew the B17 Fortress and his aircraft serial number was 338755. He flew back PoW from Stalag Luft I Barth in May 1945. I have no other details but would like to establish his identity and the squadron and group he operated. Any help with this needle in a haystack request appreciated. Steve
