Alain,

Some indications here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/1437...objectPage=791 and https://catalog.archives.gov/id/1334...objectPage=831

Newspaper mentions his transfer from the CBI to the ETO as radioman-gunner here: https://www.newspapers.com/article/s...t-di/26039396/

John T. Moran from St. Louis, Missouri.

Groet, Leendert

Re: T/Sgt Moran J T 17034915
Here is another newspaper clip with more info on him. Flew in a B-24 group in CBI and a B-26 group in Europe.

He was apparently in the 322nd Bomb Group, "Annihilators" .

Alain,

He bailed out from crashing B-26B 42-95941 on 28/11/1944.

Best regards

Just to fill-in Moran's service in the CBI, I found this clipping:

https://www.newspapers.com/article/s...rat/135164164/

The B-24 mentioned that he flew on, "The Pelican", was in the 425th BS, 308th BG.
