Hi Jim,

here are some additions and corrections:

according to Dave Osbourne’s Master Log this plane originally was assigned to 305th BG, 366th BS (KY-J) and later transferred to the 422nd BS , code JJ-J.
The MACR 15549 - from 1946 - relates to the crew, so on 19 May 1943 a 366th BS crew flew an aircraft of the 422nd BS.

The nickname of the 41-24624 was „Madame Betterfly“, not „Madame Butterfly“.

The crew:
Pilot Capt Charles D Clark POW
Co-pilot 2nd Lt Robert L Ruse POW
Navigator 2nd Lt John J Ward POW
Bombardier 2nd Lt Charles R Woodworth POW
Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner T/Sgt Everett A Howard POW
Radio Operator T/Sgt Kenneth W Baldridge POW
Right Waist Gunner S/Sgt Kenneth L Edwards KIA
Left Waist Gunner S/Sgt Louis P Haviland KIA
Tail Gunner S/Sgt Lewis F Clayton POW
Ball Turret Gunner S/Sgt Earl H Rheinhardt KIA.

The crash location Nüchel stems from a German loss report (Luftgau report) referenced by the number 111334, the microfilm frame number of a captured German document.

Regards
Leo
