Emmerich and Terry Ford's crew

Four photographs from an album. Photo 1 is a target photograph of Emmerich. The river Rhine is visible but no ground detail. Photo 2 and 3 are Terry and Eddy at the controls on the way home from the Emmerich operation. Photo 4 is six airmen and a WAAF standing outside a Nissen hut, captioned 'The occupants of hut I9 and our batwoman. Namely: Reg, Self, Don Calloway, Joyce Lerigo, Eric Parsons, Terry & John Winter'. A second slightly different scan is included with some missing text.

ABOVE :- The daylight raid on EMMERICH (on the River Rhine) was a great success and the conflagration was well under weigh [sic] when we arrived. We carried our squadron commander in the rear turret and he could see the smoke billowing up to 100,000 ft many miles away when we were on return route.
