Heinkel He-177A-5

I am trying to identify the crew of a Heinkel He-177A-5 of KG 100 i think the aircraft is 6N+AM werknummber 550263 from the 4./KG 100 . the pictures come from Luftwaffe at War "german Elite Pathfinders KG 100 in action" page 70 on the nose of the plane is the letter A , the spinners are black with white line going around them. from other pictures of the 4./KG 100 aircraft also have this patern on the spinner.

i had to crop the picture to fit the file size

any help would be appreciated

Re: Heinkel He-177A-5

By adding the information in the photo caption in the book it might be easier to identify the ac via the crew. The pictured crew was apparently credited with shooting down a P-61 Black Widow on their return from the Atlantic to their base in France. Dogs claimed to have been carried onboard frequently.
Crew said to have survived dangerous missions over the Med, Bay of Biscay ant the Atlantic.
