Thanks, ElectriMan. I am planning on eventually sending it to a museum in England, to be on display there at the old Bottisham Air Base, near Cambridge. I plan to offer it as a tribute and memorial to the Group CO, Col. Jack Christian, Jr., who flew his final mission from this base, and perished on a bombing mission in this airplane LOU IV, over France in 1944. This photo was the last one taken of him, August 12, 1944, just prior to starting engines for a raid on a rail marshalling yard in France. He didn't make it back from that mission.
