My dad Bartholomew (Bert) Robert Synan was a rt waist gunner in a B17 "The Monitor " He was with the 305th bomb group 365 squad. Shot down on his 5th mission 24 May 44. Was put in Stalag Luft 4. I have been trying to find out where he did his gunnery training.It may have been in Florida because they flew from Drew Field over to England.I would like to find what class he was in to see if I could find the book they got with all the class pictures when they fimished gunnery school.I visited his tail gunner and got to look through his book but my dad did not go to school with him.
