jawtex > Navigator / Lieutenant Edward "Red" Weir (second from left, in leather jacket, facing camera) and his B-24 crew gathered around a barrel at their base in England. We don't know what's taking place on top of the barrel - a last minute flight briefing? a game of dice? The B-24 in the background has the running panda bear nose art of the 409th Bombardment Squadron, 93rd Bombardment Group (Heavy). Circa 1942-43.
