themselves, he did share he spent most of his

there is any information you can share about his

We have no record
of an aircraft named “Aces and Eights” flying
missions with the 379th. However, it was not
uncommon for a crew to give their aircraft a
name, albeit an unofficial one, that never got
painted on the side. Looking at the records,
Sgt. Bittenback did fly several of his early
missions in a/c 42-37888 (no name) – perhaps the
“Aces and Eights” had its roots there, the crew
was the “Aces”, with the “Eights” in the serial
number? Only speculation, but consistent with
other aircraft names we are familiar with.
Regarding his serving as bombardier, as the war
progressed, it became apparent that not all
aircraft needed a bombardier. Instead, only the
Lead and Deputy Lead aircraft had a bombardier
on board, the rest of the aircraft in the
Squadron having a “togglier” (from “toggling”
the bombs). The theory was that a gunner who got
enough training in the workings of the release
mechanism and process would “toggle” (release)
the bombs at the instant that the Lead
aircraft’s bombardier did.

of Lt. Seemann or this crew that you’d be

Kent,
I
realized I had not thanked you for researching
this. You have been very gracious in spending
your time to look for information on my uncle. I
believe that I have a picture of the Snow White
crew from when my uncle was part of it. I will
dig that up and share it with your group.
Hopefully there are names annotated on it.
Again, with all my best and appreciation.
Brian Seemann
