Fifteen year old Zena (Zenaieda) Abbie (Henninger - Wanner) Erickson and her cousin Lt. Ernest Anders Erickson in front of Clara and Frank Erickson's home at 801 Jefferson Avenue in Bismarck, ND in October of 1943. Zena was a student at Bismarck High School and Ernest was home on leave from the Air Corps. He was about to ship out to England as a B-17 pilot with the 95th Bomb Group. He had just received his wings and was maybe acting the goof with his cousin, or just hamming for the photograph.
Ernest would be stationed at Horham Airfield though the following October
of 1944 after completing 35 missions over Nazi occupied Europe. He would
return home after the war in the Summer of 1945. |
