Bombardier Lt Byron M.Isbell USAAF info needed?
Does anyone have any information, service, squadron etc on a WW2 bombardier named Lt Byron Isbell. I know he was born in Massachusetts in 1922.
Thanks Dan

Byron M Isbell O-2065394, was a bombardier in the 91st BG. He is mentioned three times for example on the following link: These were missions flown by the 401st BS of the 91st BG in 1945.

Danny,
It appears that he enlisted as a private on 28 Oct 1943 at Boston, MA. Byron was from nearby Quincy. A prewar picture here: http://www.mocavo.com/The-Manet-Nort...1938/250686/54 Regards, Leendert |

Re: Bombardier Lt Byron M.Isbell USAAF info needed?
Gents,
First thanks for the photo! It is a unusual name I believe? The photo I am unsure if it is him, I have had a good look again, I am trying to find out what aircraft the crew normal flew in, on the web it shows three missions in three different aircraft then nothing? In March 1945, I have written off to the 401st-91BG historian but nothing. Can anyone help, I went through all the nose arts and crews and nothing?? The crew names: Here is the crew details: 44-8429 P 2nd Lt. Rosselle, Donald J. O-333592 LL-G CP F/O Rowley, John T. T-6054 NAV 2nd Lt. Sensenbacher, Charles W. O-2073227 BOM 2nd Lt. Isbell, Byron M. O-2065394 ENG Top Turret Sgt. Schultz, Robert O. 37656030 GUN Ball Turret Sgt. Pospichal, Joseph J. 37740570 R-O Radio Sgt. Cordingley, Edward T. 42023296 GUN Waist Guns Sgt. Grigg, William B. 18099018 GUN Tail Guns Sgt. Rubino, Robert M. 39709840
