    Since you don't finish your sentence I would like to know if the second pilot was Col Benjamin Mayo? He is known to have flown another 'No Guts-No Glory', a P-47D 42-26671 also coded MX-X. Oberhansley used a lot of Bolts named Iron Ass Stig

    I think the person in the center is pilot Larry Nelson. Here is a link to his oral history - digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/document/29279 The Commemorative Air Force also has an oral history of his on file that has not been digitized, but does support his identity in this image.
