Florida Gator rebuilt over Berlin

These mechanics were against junking the "Floride Gator", badly riddled by flak over Berlin, so little by little, as they are able to obtain parts from the salvage lot, this fighter is being rebuilt and will soon be in combat again with the German Luftwaffe. The men responsible for this salvage job are: on top, Cpl. John L. Williams of Grantsville, Md., left to right; Sgt. Walter F. Graner of Plainview, Minn., Pvt first class Paul W. Glasser of 1129 Beacon St., Brookline, Mass., Sgt. Robert L. Whorley of 2010 Overhill Drive., Dashville, Tenn., and Cpl. John B. Moran of 5 Grassy Plain St., Bethel, Conn.
