If there are no surviving members of this crew to contact, another option for you would be to try and obtain an Escape and Evasion Report. Samples of what E&E reports contain can be seen on the 100th BG site: http://www.100thbg.org/mainmenus/ee/ee_index.htm
The reports I have read often contain some very interesting information as to what happened and how the individual escaped. If the E&E report still exists that Edward Nabozny would have had to write (or the other crew members who also escaped), it would probably answer many of the questions you have.
The National Archives has (I believe the original) copies of these reports in Maryland. Written requests for these reports can be sent to:
U.S. Archives II
Modern Military Records--NWCTM
Record Group 498
8601 Adelphia Road
College Park, Maryland 20740-6001
USA
The Air Force Historical Research Agency also have copies of the E&E reports. They can be contacted at:
AFHRA/RSA
600 Chennault Circle
Maxwell AFB, Alabama 36112-6424
When requesting information, be sure to provide as much information as you can and ask for the complete file contents. Both of the above mentioned organizations will charge a fee for their services and could take a few months to complete your request.
Good Luck - Eric Z.
