  Dominic Valencia (son of Ronald and Chrissy Valencia of Tucson and Harold and Marjorie Kronenberg's niece's son) stands in front of the Ball Turret "Belly" of the B-17 Bomber, Mister Completely, at the 390th Bombardment Group Memorial Museum at Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona in 1997.

Uncle Diz checks out the ball turret on Mister Completely.


The name of the airplane is I'll Be Around. It is a B17G. In 1944, sometime before D-Day, Diz flew a bombing mission in this plane


Diz points to "Pops" Cummings, who was the ground crew chief of I'll Be Around and the crew chief for many of the other B17s that Diz flew in.
