Joe Knautz, W02, beside the Pegasus, one of the B-24 Liberator four-engine long-range bombers the 159 Pathfinder Force, RAF Squadron flew during 12-18 hour missions over Burma and South-East Asia during WWII. Dad was the nose gunner on one of the B-24 Liberator bombers that destroyed the best-known site on the Thai-Burma railway, built in 1942-43 by British prisoners of war based at Tha Markam, known to movie-goers as The Bridge On the River Kwai.

This additional photo's for <atripperfunster>. I always laugh when I see my brother's expression, & my dad's tie. Also, you can tell that this photo was colorized. What dude wears blush? *giggle* I have better, less wooden-looking photos of them but none that are scanned into the computer yet.
