Tell me about these names and places...please

My father James Deward Flowers served in WW 11. He is now deceased since 1975.I have a white ashtray with stars and things in the center with TAF written on top around the edges are written Italy, Balkans, Tunisia, Sicily and France. My oldest brother says these are the places my father served during the war.I have photos some with at least last names: Williams, Flowers, Gaff and Miles ( says Gaff is from Missouri) Another has Flowers, Hailes and V Taft. One lone picture has Alexander Louis 0 566024AC typed on the front.One picture has a woman in a cowboy hat with the words Pistol Packin Mama all on the side of a plane. One picture is of a ship with US659 on the side. There is one of a plane named Jean. I have a picture of a sign that reads Pisa Airfield Base of the 86th Fighter Group Invaders Home of Rover Joe the GI's friend. Another picture of three men one is holding a sign that reads Mission #1000________ Armed Recce Po Valley ( could not make out the blank word) A last picture is of a building with the word Grosetta hand written on it. I know who the Flowers is of course and I have met the man Ray Miles before my dad died. Would love to know any information about the rest.Thanks
