It appears that the members of the crew on August 11, 1944 (when the plane went down in liberated Brittany) were as follows:
Pilot 2d Lt Gerald B. Ross (0-748253)
Co-pilot F/O Samuel W. Sayer (T-2823 )
Navigator 2d Lt Chester R. Tingle (0-720035)
Bombardier F/O Thomas A. Matassa (T-2898)
Radio op. S/Sgt Hulitt O. Kirkhart (15327541) (3)
Eng./top turret S/Sgt Camille H. Blais (11036102)
Ball turret Sgt Thomas S. Maulstesby (34257493)
Tail gunner Sgt Carl A. Adolfson (37554345)
L waist gunner Sgt Richard J. Burdett (33581949)
R waist gunner Sgt John L. Collins (12081558)
I wonder if any of the crew is still alive today? I'd love to talk to them about the plane and what happened.
