Re: B-24 against German Weather Station
A thread of almost 10 years ago and perhaps under loads of dust...
B-24 pilots to be identified as 1st Lt Pierce T. Utsey, Jr and Lt Robert G. Happel.
B-24 serials a bit more difficult, but here goes.
The son of (deceased) Lt Happel found a picture of his dad's bomber: 42-40631 named "Crazy Dream".
For Lt Utsey Jr.: on 7 Jun 1943, so not so long after the Greenland air attack, he had an accident at Meeks Field, Iceland with 42-40615.
Sgt Sam Kupferberg (32341697) could be pulled out of the crashed 42-40615. He had serious burn injuries.
On wwiimemorial Sgt Kupferberg is listed with DNB, but I'm not sure if this is related to the Iceland crash.
Regards,
Leendert
