If one searches for Ms. Patricia J. Williams site:ww2online.org, there is a host of interesting pictures to be found.

They were apparently made by Lloyd Anthony "Frenchie" Rogers who was assigned to the 434th Bombardment Squadron where he served as a crew chief on North American B-25 Mitchell bombers. He served in this capacity from McChord Field, Washington to Esler Field, Louisiana and to North Africa throughout the battle of El Alamein, Sicily, Italy, and the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater of Operations.

Enjoy!
