Re: 481BG/836BS crewmembers

All are in this MACR 11561 for B-17 44-8121 (flying as the lead ship, pathfinder, on the mission). Note BG is 487th not 481st. Note also the plane did not have a forced landing on continent, the entire crew bailed out and the mission Air Leader (AL), Major Lloyd Williams Nash was killed (possible chute failure).
