Lt. Richard J. Reinfried was a pilot with the 95th Bomb Group and the 334th
Squadron. He completed 33 missions over Nazi occupied Europe from April
10th through July 14th, 1944. My dad, Lt. Ernest Anders Erickson took this
photograph of Lt. Reinfried being congratulating by Bombardier Lt. Earl E.
Pirtle soon after Renfried received the Distinguished Flying Cross in August
of 1944.
