SSgt Chester Arthur Johnson, Jr
Tokyo Military Prison Fire
Latimer Crew
Page 1

 

The crew photo is undated and although there is nose art, I have not been able to locate a nickname for this B-29. SSgt Ellingson's name is misspelled as Ellingston.

Below the photo is the Operations Order issued at Mather Army Air Field 6 November 1944. This is followed by a True Copy of the first two pages of MACR 14237.
TSgt Louis Vance's status is RMC: Returned to Military Control.
He was the only man to survive the war.

On Page 2 is a second version of the MACR and there TSgt Vance's status is EUS :
Evacuated to the United States
