My father, George D. Rawlings, was the bombardier. After attending a memorial service for Capt Rogers, he was called to fill in for a sick bombardier on another crew and was shot down on 17 MAY 43 on a mission to Lorient. Total war service, two takeoffs, no landings, shot down twice in 4 days and had the unfortunate honor of being aboard the first two 96th BG aircraft lost in Europe. Spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft III. Continued in the Air Force and served in both Korean and Vietnam. Retired as Colonel in 1972. Thank you for the information, without a MACR, I did not even have this much.
