My gradfather was SSG William H Yeager and a waist gunner on the B24 Lucky Lucille. His Air Medal Citation dates are 28 Sep 1943 to 7 Dec 1943. The picture was taken 26 February 1944, The picture is 43G -204B so We believe that is the 43 Bomb group and the 64th Bomb Squadron. He enlisted into the Army Air Forces on 8 Sep 1942, after the maxium age was raised. He graduated from Aircraft Armorers Technical Training School on January 9th, 1943 at the age of 33.  I have a letter he sent from Ardmore Army Air Field in Oct 1944.  William was honorably discharged in May 1945."
