These partial crew lists for each of the Bomb Squadrons have been created using: Missing Air Crew Reports ( MACR ) 497th
Narrative History ( Reels B0662 and B0663 ) |
The
page for each Bomb Squadron is searchable using the FIND feature Searching is limited to one Bomb Squadron at a time. While most crews remained within the same Squadron, some of the Aircraft Commanders did not. They were transferred to another Squadron, to 497th Group Headquarters, or to 73rd Wing Headquarters

Mission
Reports with each crew member listed are extremely difficult to find.
Were it not for Jim, Carl, Mark, and Roy, these pages could not have been created. |
