Ole B. Bennedsen World War II Collection

The Ole B. Bennedsen World War II Collection documents Bennedsen's service as a pilot of Boeing B-17 aircraft on operational missions over Germany near the end of World War II. This small collection includes a Pilot's Flight Log with entries from 1943-1945, a pay card, and a list of all of Bennedsen's 35 operational missions over Germany, which includes the dates and names of German cities. Also present are two black-and-white photographic prints depicting Bennedsen and his "Bonnie Lassie" plane and B-17s surrounded by flak fire, presumably taken during a mission over Germany. A CD of scanned photographs contains additional images of Bennedsen, his family, and his crew.

Digitized Materials: This collection has been digitized in its entirety. The CD is pending processing.
