A word about this photo:
This photo was taken at A-3 just after the
396th returned from a mission.
Pictured center is Lt Paul Quilty who had just
witnessed his good friend go down.
The photo speaks a thousand words.

Squadron narrative 13Aug44: "Lt. C. H. Olson
led White Flight on the third mission for the
day. While in the target area, "Big Olie" was
hit by a barrage of light flak, pulled up and
bailed out at 1,500 feet. When Lt. Quilty
orbited the spot where the chute hit the ground,
it had disappeared."
Lt Olsen is buried at the Normandy Cemetery.
