This Aircraft number is 42-50820, which was shot down on 6 November 1944 en route to Minden, Germany.
(A gentleman on the webpage was looking for info on this crew, but his email link did not work) the men with asteriks before
their name were on that crew, along with:
Left Waist Gunner: SSG Lewis E. McMahan
Tail Turret: SSG Albert
P. Cole
Nose Turret: 2LT Alton L. Kraft
The plane took flak in the #2 engine, they jettisoned 2 of the 3 1000 lb bombs and turned towards
England. Not long after, they attempted to land outside Billerbeck. The plane clipped a telephone pole and crash, setting
off the bomb that wasn't jettisoned. The crew was buried in a mass grave. In 1949, their remains were brought back to the
states and interned in Rock Island National Cemetery.
If you require more details on anything please let me know.

I saw this listing of personnel, and thought I would check it against my Master Copy of
US Army Graves Registery.
if all the names were of the same crew...the final resting
place is not the same for all. Since there were no service
numbers listed, the names
that were listed at the orginal burial site were used.
Hope this is of some help.
