Re: Fate of USAAF bomber/fighter crews sought

42-106991: 8 KIA, 2 POW, 1 EVD
There is a long article on this bomber at https://www.99bombgroup.org/newslett...r-Dec-2012.pdf
To see the 8 KIA: http://www.usaafdata.com/search, type the serial number in Details before launching the search

42-52253: 10 POW, according to http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...t=47459&page=2

41-29362: 1 KIA, 10 POW
The MACR is available online at http://www.461st.org/Aircraft/Origin...ACR%206853.pdf. It clearly says one crew member died while bailing out and the other landed safely in Rumania, so should have been captured, but nothing on the MACR for this.
All ten survivores are listed as POW on the page http://www.461st.org/Kriegsgefangene...gefangenen.htm

42-78229: 10 POW
Crew list available at http://www.484th.org/Missions/images.../440817.11.jpg
For the cases above, I searched sources available for free, but for this one the MACR on fold3 was the only place I could find the fate of the crew, at https://www.fold3.com/image/29407365

43-28795: pilot survived, crash in Allied territory
Plane destroyed during forced landing, Manfredonia, Italy, according to http://raf-112-squadron.org/82ndfghonor_roll.html
Same data at https://www.aviationarchaeology.com/...y/Aug1944O.htm (probable source of the above, to be honest)
Fernow died on 22 September 1944 in a mission over Germany (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...elvin-l-fernow, http://raf-112-squadron.org/82ndfghonor_roll.html)
