Re: Heavy bomber aces

While I can add nothing further to the topic, I ran across a document I discovered at the U.S. Air Force Museum over 30 years ago when going through their files. It was a listing of aces from the various theaters of operations and also included some bomber gunners. Their names and details follow, but again, others will have to supply units, pilots, if the information is accurate, etc. I will type them word-for-word as shown on the sheets.

China-Burma-India (Includes 14th and 10th AFs)
Benko, Arthur J., S/Sgt. Bisbee, Ariz. 9
Gouldthrite, George W., T/Sgt. Spokane, Wash. 5

Agnew, John W., S/Sgt. 5
Bowen, Wilbur L., T/Sgt. 5
Cielinski, Joseph J., S/Sgt. 5
Held, Charles F., Jr., S/Sgt. 5
Lee, Harold E., S./Sgt. 5
O'Brien, Frank, Jr. T/Sgt. 5
