Re: Sgt Peder Heller 93rd BG s/n 37303203
From JB's serial numbers website -
41-23754 (93rd BG, 409th BS, "Little Lady") landed in Turkey Aug 1, 1943 after Ploesti raid and interned. This plane was first B-24 to fly over occupied Europe on missin to Fives-Lille Steelworks Oct 9, 1942.
So how can we find her early crews names ?
Also I came across this -
41-23728 "Hot Stuff", 93BG/330BS. Pilot Frank M, SHANNON, Flying to the USA on 3rd May, '43 flew into a mountain in Iceland.
One report says there was only one surviver, the Tail Gunner.��
41-23728 (93rd BG, 330th BS, *Hot Stuff*) was the first American heavy bomber to achieve 25 missions in WW2. It crashed on Mt Fagradalsfjlall in Iceland May 3, 1943 on the way back to USA. General Frank M Andrews (commander of US forces in Eurpoean theatre of operations) was killed, along with all others aboard the aircraft except the tail gunner, who was found alive in the wreckage. Andrews AFB in Maryland is named in his honor.
However Mighty 8th Combat Chronology has "10 RTD" ?
How to find crew/passengers ?
