Re: Capt Gerrick Clarence W 0-429635 POW on October 4 1943 in Belgium
Further my post #11, AFHRA Reel B0418 says on p. 322-323: "The same day that the crews returned, October 4th, a practice mission was being flown. Captain Gerrick, 567th Squadron, was leading; while over the North Sea, he became separated from the formation and for unknown reasons he failed to return. Later it was learned he was compelled to make a landing in enemy territory. Two of the six aboard, Capt. Gerrick and S/Sgt Paulin, are known to be prisoners of war."
A training flight after all...
