Re: 454thBG/738thBS loss - 9thApril,45
Alex,
Aircraft was not lost. Ball Turret gunner S/Sgt Real J Caron fell out of the turret on April 9, 1945, and returned to the group on the 15th. Pilot was 1st Lt Hubbard C Capes. MACR form does not give any aircraft serial. #362 is from Caron's statement of June 7, 1945.
Mission report from Maxwell identifies aircraft as 0362 #60. It therefore has to be 44-50362.
Enjoy!
Frank.
