Re: Sgt Peder Heller 93rd BG s/n 37303203

Have just checked the 13 93BG/409BS MACR's where pilots were killed.
MACR's
1607;2178;2183;2192;2193;2907;16602;4828;5018;7897 ;10359;15463;12009.
Earliest date was 43/07/23.
None of those crews was named Heller.

There are 4 aircraft (non combat) that had fatalities.
They were :
42-100363 - 44/03/13 - UK - MACR 5018.
42-50597 - 44/12/19 - UK - MACR 15463.
42-100334 - 45/03/05 - Pilot : Reed R E. - UK - 5 KIA.
42-51241 - 45/03/31 - Pilot: Tucker, M L. - UK - 3 KIA.

So maybe Heller's events were earlier than July '43 although doesn'the seem to suggest at least one was in late(?) 1944 ?

As an extra,.In "Second Air Division " (Turner) by Ray Strong & J R Uttal
Peder Heller is noted on page 147 in the 2nd Air Division Roster as being with the 93BG.
