Easy Does It Factoid - The above photo was taken in April 1944 in Louisiana and the crew reached Bassingbourn in June and received credit for their first mission on Don Almon's birthday, 4 July 1944. "Easy Does It" was shot down by flak on its 27th mission over Berlin on 5 December 1944. Don Almon was the person naming the plane because the call letters were LG E and was assigned to Walton's crew in August 1944. Don flew the last 11 of his 35 combat missions as Navigator on this bomber.
