Possibly two other crew as yet I haven't found names. The other five(41-29227; 42-78380; 42-64454; 42-50304; 42-94984) aircraft from this Bomb Group that were lost on the 24th all had ten crewmen.
All for now
PS
Re: " Illegal Eagle" yes was with the 450th BG, BUT serial number was 42-28756, for three photo's see B24 Best Web via the armyairforces.com website.
But this aircraft was lost on 24th May 1944 MACR 5440, an earlier MACR 3930 for 5th April 44 was due to one MIA crewman.
So it is quite possible that the name was used again on another aircraft in the Group, possibly 42-78216 but where is confirmation of this being so ?
The 450th Bomb Group Website has: 722nd Squadron - 42-78216 named "Janner II".
B24 Best Web has photo of her here:
