Hello!

I am trying to find more info regarding the Crash of B24D 41-11842 Q, Oct 3, 1942, 415th BS, 98th BG.

1. Plane Crashed into Mountain N Beirut, Lebanon Pliot and crew of 8 KIA. I can't any info regarding where it really crashed and more, with the info i got.

Managed to find out this though:

Crew, listed as KIA

KENNEDY, ROBERT E. 1/Lt O-430970, Where is RE Kennedy buried?

KRIEDT, ALTON R. 2/Lt O-437609

? ? ? ? Who was the 9th crew member?

ALLEN, ROBERT N. 2/Lt O-728154

SENIW, JEROME 2/Lt O-724228
BORDO, CARMI A. S/SGT 11038602

ROSENBERGER, OSCAR L. SGT 35350181

RAKAUSKAS, EDWARD J. S/SGT 11033854

HUBBARD, Jr, FRANCIS S. S/SGT 11046268

2. I dont have the book The Pyramidiers, and i wonder if this crew is listed there to confirm my findings?

From Christopher Shores book A History of the Mediterranean Air War Vol page 680, plane name is called "Ready and Willing".

I don't know it that name still is correct? or conflict with other serial number still within 98th BG?
