Brian, I am not sure what you mean by gaps in the transcript. Can you explain?

As far as the B-18 goes, it seems to me that the B-18 used was 36-434 which had been in fact written off in February, but was repaired enough to make the flight in March. The two ill RAF men on the flight were Val Morehouse first mentioned in post #7 and "John" Wright (aka Frank Wright) as was also mentioned in post #7. John Wright gives quite a detailed account of the B-18 flight and crash in his account. The plane was actually taxied into the sea by Horrigan after the landing on the beach. We don't seem to have yet identified any of the AAF NCOs on the fight and whether or not they survived captivity.

It might be interesting to try and contact Val's son Duncan Morehouse (See link in post #7) and see if he has any more info. I will try to do that.

UPDATE: Duncan is going to check his sources and will comment in a few days. (Frank Wright was Frank John Wright.)
