This is the story of the Producer’s grandfather, Edwin Rinkenberger. He and his crewmates were original members of the 385th Bomb Group, joining it shortly after it's formation in Spokane, Washington and transferring to England in July of 1943 with the 550th Bomb Squadron. They were carried on the Group books as it's 22nd crew or the "Fryer" crew, after the pilot, Lyle Fryer. Lyle gave their first B-17 it's name, "Mary Ellen", after his girlfriend and had the name painted in large black and white script on the nose.
