Re: 2Lt. Walter G. Burry, O-747078
Hello Rolland and Frank,
At first I would have accepted your suggested a/c serial number Rolland. But after viewing the 301 link I saw that 42-30357 had two named navigators, two Squadrons and two MACR's for the 11th January,44. So MACR 2606 and MACR 1831 contradict the named navigator.
Also 353rd Sqdn and 419th ?
So could well have been 42-31182.
Then Frank comes up with 42-30465, also given as a 419th a/c that eventually was lost on the 30th March, 44, so also a possibility.
As for the original crew list has Flather's, 1Lt but Burry is not listed in that original crew list.I forget now how many a/c were on the mission that were 301 Group a/c but there are at least these numbers noted in the macr's, 42-30357; 42-3098; 42-30466; 42-31398; 42-30341; 42-30106 and 42-37967.
So to add 42-31182 and 42-30465 would bring the total to at least nine a/c .
There were 21 301st BG a/c on the mission, five were lost.
Twelve other serial numbers were ?
