Re: Charles Bronson

I know he was with the 39th BG and after the war he invited his crew to watch a show ( in Hollywood, in the 60s. The link below has some information.http://39th.org/39th/aerial/61st/Cre...buchinski.html

Re: Charles Bronson

C. D. Buchinski AKA Charles Bronson was a nose gunner in the 39BG's Weather Observation Sqn., Capt. Ken Trow's crew in "Old Overcast" (still looking for serial), they flew a mission every 3 days and Trow said only 5 completed by the end. They only arrived on Guam in July.
The name may not have been painted on.


Regards
Nick
