I am a former B-25 pilot [now 87 years old - Jan 2008] with the 487th Squadron. I was in Corsica from May 21, 1944 to Dec.30, 1944. I flew 66 missions. My name is shown on the mission sheets as J.A. Littlefield. [My photo] negatives were developed by me in a tent over on Corsica and forgotten over the years.  I have had a photographer put a lot of previously unprinted pictures on a disk.
