Thank you so much for having this on your site! I am currently reading letters written by my Mom and Dad during the time he was in Stamford and he talked about the Plane Wrangler. I don't know what happened to his copy but I'm so glad to find this one!! My dad was Clair J. Clark.

KIA: During the night of 12-13 July 1945, Lieutenant Crim flew as the Airplane Command Pilot aboard a Boeing B-29 Superfortress serial #42-63653 tail code: Diamond B (nicknamed "Reddy Teddy" but nose art was never painted).

So, so happy to find this! A kind gentleman contacted me via Ancestry with info about my dad's WWII service. Until then, we had no idea that he'd done flight training. I have only one photo of him (house fire) so I was ecstatic to find his photo here. Thank you!
