Re: B-17 shot down 8 Feb 1942 Java

MACR 16154 can be seen or downloaded from here:
https://catalog.archives.gov/id/91172944


The after-the-fact MACR lists 7 crew members.


There does not seem to be a MACR for Prichard's plane 41-2492 which was also lost that day.
From the Fortlog, found here: http://www.91stbombardmentgroup.com/...ID/FORTLOG.pdf


"41-2492"

"Del McDill 4/1/42; Ass 19BG Java 5/2/42 w/Bill Pritchard; trans 9BS/7BG; s/d at sea near
Malang, Java, and blew up w/Bill Prichard, W. Morgan, Isadore Alfred, F. Luscombe, R. Legault, Joe
Hines, Ignatius Barron, Horace Salmon 8/2/43." (Note, date should be 8/2/42).

As mentioned by Leendert, the book, "7th Bombardment Group/Wing 1918-1995" has a some info on this incident.

It does list a Harry "E" Parry as the 8th crew member on DuFrane's plane.
