B-17 aircrew Java 1942

Hi guys

M/Sgt LOUIS T. SILVA DSC (US) air gunner - apparently about 60 years old at the time! Any information appreciated. Believe later killed in action/died?
A photo would be a bonus.

Major CECIL E. COMBS DSC - seeking photo.

Captain FRANK W. KURTZ DSC - seeking photo.

Hope someone can help, please

Cheers
Brian

Thanks, guys

Excellent information - just photos of the three would be a bonus.

Has anyone a copy of the Times Magazine article reference Louis Silva?

Cheers
Brian
