Re: Capt Gerrick Clarence W 0-429635 POW on October 4 1943 in Belgium
This gets complicated.
In Sky Scorpions book, story of the 389th BG, (by Wilson and McKay):
Capt. Clarence Gerrick 4 Oct 43 in aircraft 42-40802. POW?
Also Lt George Wilson 4 Oct 43 in aircraft 42-40802 POW/RTD?
Also S Sgt. Albert Trumbly 4 Oct 43 in aircraft 42-40802 POW/RTD?
In rear of book, Aircraft Losses: 10.04.43 42-40701 YO*E
Also indicated this same aircraft crash landed in Tunsia on 9.21.43 Cat E?
From Joe Baugher: 42-40802 to USN as PB4Y-1 32088 May 13, 1943.
From B-24 Web: 42-72800, 801, 804, 806, and 807 were all in the South Pacific. 802, 803, and 805 missing in this and Baugher site.
Good luck
