Hi Andrea,
Your dad's AC Bomb Boogie was 42-30271 and the MACR 545 covers this AC and crew. Get a copy by contacting Lynn.Gamma@MAXWELL.AF.MIL. There is no charge and may yield some valuable information. There were 5 EVADEEs, 1 KIA and 4 POWs.
Go to www.armyairforces.com/dbgroups.asp?Group=116
and post on their forum. Look for a post about Assoiciation, Website and Reunions and check out the contacts and links that may be able to help you in your search. Good luck.
