Welcome Aaron, I believe you may be the grandson of Ernest R. Raines of the 92nd Bomb Group? Your grandfather was LWG on the crew of William Byrne? Please share any stories you may have heard from your grandfather, photos, etc. Let us know if there are any missing pieces to his Schweinfurt mission story and we may be able to help. Also, we have a Facebook page as does the 92nd Bomb group. With both FB groups you ask to join and then would be approved. And please share our info with other family members. How appropriate that you seek us out on Memorial Day. My father flew the mission with the 306th BG and along with the 92nd led the attack that day. Dad was seriously wounded. but the A/c made it back to the UK. Also, you will be added to our list to receive our Briefing Letter. We just had one published so I will send it to you now. Please feel free to share, ask questions and join FB also
