Hello Leendert,
Photo has "18" not doubt about it.

WW2 Casualties for Franklyn Ohio has as you say
http://media.nara.gov/media/images/29/16/29-1513a.gif
The NARA had this
http://www.wwiimemorial.com/registry...nt=5&tcount=57
And "
Losses of the 8th & 9th US Air Forces vol 2" has on page 483:
Additional to page 38 of vol 1.
"
17th October 1942
1Lt Rollin W. Karg, 60TCG, 10TCS, died of injuriesin Titsworth Hospitalon this date. He was fatally injuredin a Tiger Moth crash. Buried in Brookwood Cemetery Plot E-4-17 before final reinterment in Ohio.
note - Unable to locate Titsworth on maps of the time and this may refer to Tidworth, Wiltshire."
So if it was indeed the
18th then there was
R5210 that hit wires recovering from a spin at Rowron Hill (?). Anything known of who her pilot was ?
And
DE932 who's pilot is reported as 1Lt. William M. McGuire , second man was John A. NYE.
The a/c is noted as "Landing ACident Stall/SPin" in the AAIR site.
421018 Tigermoth DE-932 153OS 37OG AAF Sta 466 (RAF Membury) LACSSP 3 McGuire, William M ENG RAF Aldermaston, Berkshire, ENG
For info,
DE935 -
15th October 1942 - Pilot. Walker, John R. second man was Riggins, J.T. 67th OG, 12th OS.
All the very best
