I noticed on one of your photos the placement of the grim reaper patch on his flight jacket (Left breast). I have both original leather patches and the flight jacket but the patches were removed ... now I know where they should be reattached. Thx Nice.

My father-in-law was the arial photographer aboard. I may also have Nip Nipper and Sitting Pretty. I have hundreds of photos of nose art. I actually have the original belly mounted camera from Dottie. I have Ding How Dottie. My father-in-law was the arial photographer aboard. I may also have Nip Nipper and Sitting Pretty.

His A/C was downed by Flak on his first mission and he and his entire crew bailed, survived 13 days in the jungle, and were (with assistance by friendly Chinese,) returned to American Forces. Upon return, Doug flew 60 more missions, before returning to the U.S. soil. Doug is now 93 years old, and in a Rest Home...It is my hope that, by writing this, I may be lucky enough to reach someone who might remember him. Doug's most vivid memories are of the 308th bg, and the time he spent with the 'Flying Tigers'. If you know of, or heard of, or even think you may have heard of, Doug Rodenbaugh.......Please send me a note, .....Just knowing that someone is still out there w/ these memories, will bring a huge smile to my dear friends' face.

I have found other pictures with Dad as the pilot of The Joker and I believe the Nip Nipper. I'm awaiting confirmation on the last. I'm betting he's also the the pilot of Sitting Pretty as well as Shooting Star and I know the St. Micheal. I will send you the photos from a gmail account because I can send them all at once, or in a batch or two. My father was Carl Weitz of Providence RI. He was a Capt in the Army Air Corp 14th AF, 308 BG 373 BS from 1943 until his return in 1945, flying the hump with a B-24 and bombing China and Indo China, as well as Japan. At some point he had to have been in the Phillipines but I have yet to figure out how or when. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Pacific Theater Ribbon with 6 battle stars, Air Medal with oak leaf cluster; Phillipine Liberation Ribbon with 2 service bars, American Theater Ribbon with WWII Victory Ribbon. and RI pay bonus.I will see if I can find names of his crew- I have partial names. I know he was at Mitchell Field, somewhere in Indiana, Langley and Bennettsville SC. But Mike, I cannot find Email on this site. Send me an email with an addy and I'll send you the pictures and info as soon as possible. I leave town for a week next Tues, God willing. will have to send them from a different address.
