I may have posted this in the wrong section, but I noticed that the "Peli-Can" was not pictured in the nose art section of this website. I have attached it here. It was piloted by Capt Roy William Olsen, my Great Uncle, of Cedar Falls Iowa. Does anyone have a crew photo? Those that perished on that day were:
