Hello,
Your Father T/Sgt Jack E. KARR (13009260) was Left Waist Gunner on B-17G 42-31135 "Susie Sag Tits" (other sources have "Susy Sagtitz" even "Suzy Saglitz"...) from 388th Bomb Group/562nd Bomb Squadron. Lost on Berlin mission March 6, 1944 with Pilot Lt Montgomery D. GIVENS.
One of the nine POWs, your Father was interned at Stalag Luft 4.
[ The nickname you gave, "Quarterback" belonged to another 388th plane, Serial 42-30212.]
Sending you an e-mail with additional details. I don't have the full crew list but you could obtain a (free) copy of the Missing Air Crew Report from Lynn.Gamma@maxwell.af.mil (Mention MACR 3082.)
