Catahoula, OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!

drexyl, to your Uncle David: God Bless!

Of my uncles who flew B-17's, one died on a mission over Germany. One completed his tour as a pilot, but passed on 20 yrs ago after serving in SAC for years post-WWII.

See if you can reconstruct the area around his left hand too.

Looked like it could be a shadow, but doesn't color out that way. Perhaps shadow and/or something he's holding, or a damaged area on the photo (would need to reconstruct webbing in that case).

I hadn't noticed that before; it almost looks like he's holding something but I think its a shadow just based on the shape of his hand and the shape of that area. you can see the stitching of the chute in that area but it gets weird when it gets lower and closer to his wrist. it looks like it would be part of the chute just matching it up with the other side.

the shadow on the other hand is cast down and to the left side (left side facing the picture). Because of that I think it should be the same color as the straps on the chute. If there was a shadow it should have been cast at the same angle/direction at the other, so it was probably blocked by his arm.
