Dénes,
LtCol Hugh R Graff. The aircraft was carrying 2 navigators, 2 bombardiers, and a photographer. Enjoy! Frank.

He has probably evaded with partisans, and came back to base around same time as rest of his crew who were PoW in Shumen.

Re: P-38 lost over Bulgaria on 26 August 1944?
Your statement is correct Boster was not listed into any of
Shumen roasters and only Graff , Vandergrifft,Paul Ned, W.Resce arrived to the camp. Regarding Capt LR Brown Radar Bombardier despite years of searching I couldn't locate any info nor burial info and along with Bruni and Grecco is MIA , probably due to the direct flack hit on the front fuselage section.
