Franklin E. Bristol



In reference to Bob's comment asking about my Father's medals and type of plane he flew during WW11, I Have added the above two pictures.  My Father's obituary tells about his air medals and the picture below shows my Father pointing to the Memphis Bell which was on display at an Elmira New York air show several years before he passed.  We took him there to see it.  This is a B24 like the ones he flew during the war.

  1. These are terrific entries, Carolyn, and it is easy to understand why you are so proud of him. He must have had some amazing stories about the B-24 and all those missions they flew over Europe.
