American pilot identification and Group

Hi all,

Long shot here, trying to identify an American pilot 1st Lieutenant Naylor.

The only details I have is he flew the B17 Fortress and his aircraft serial number was 338755.

He flew back PoW from Stalag Luft I Barth in May 1945. I have no other details but would like to establish his identity and the squadron and group he operated.

Any help with this needle in a haystack request appreciated.

Steve
