It is known this crew crashed once in England. I believe it was on their first mission. Anyone have other details I would
like to hear from them. I believe all crew members were safe and returned . I also believe it was last days of Dec 43 and
the same mission one of our Crew was flying as make-up and was lost to POW status. I will try to research this more. Also
as to why this crew was replaced.
